Level 42 Official Website - Problems w/Jukebox From: "John Shuford" Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2001 03:54:02 -0700 Hello All - I've been pestering Morgan about this for a while, but we're both stumped as to what's happening, so I'll pester others and give Morgan a break! I'm having no luck in getting clean mp3 downloads from the level42.com jukebox page. I have both RealPlayer Basic 8 and Winamp 2.75. Neither one will properly play the files, and I have to do a right-click "save link as" to download them (which is unusual). Left-clicking will give me a bunch of code in the browser window as the file downloads. I'm wondering if anybody else, especially Netscape users, may be having similar problems. Thanks, shuf ------------------------------ Subject: World record for bass playing? From: l.godderidge @ talk21.com Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2001 13:01:56 +0100 Hi again, I wonder if somebody can tell me if a record exists for the most proficient bass playing (either electric or double bass). As I know they have do have records for singers, drummers etc and was curious to know whether there was one for bass playing and who holds this title. If anyone can help, get in touch.

This was really hard, so here are five I like, just off the top of my head: 1. Gary Husband 2. Phil Gould 3. Rick Marotta 4. Omar Hakim 5.

So > there. And hear-hear! Well said, Alex. Boon's funky rhythm-playing is a big part of what made Level 42's early material so appealing. And it just wouldn't have had the same effect with that thin, twangy Strat sound. Not that I don't like Stratocasters, too (one Fender product I actually approve of), but the LP sound is much fatter and warmer.

From: Michael Thomas Payne Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2001 15:35:03 -0500 Hello ALL! Thanks Sean Green and all, for your emails of support and jokes. I did like the email that read, Mikey, or shall I say now Michelle.... a few of you will know how sweet revenge can be. I especially liked the Top Ten Bedside confessions of Mikey Payne coming out of anesthesia. Honestly though, the surgery went excellent (I am glad it is over), recovery is still in progress but going extremely well, and looking forward to the next Texas Levelfest, for those of you locally, I will be back in the office on Wed, June 6, 2001, a day earlier that scheduled. Until then, I hope everyone is having a great week. Mikey PS: Just to ask a stupid bass question, is Mark using a fretless in Lasso The Moon, I was listening to that album last night and really noticed the bass differed slightly from that "pop' that Mark normally has. Also, I think that A Kinder Eye, would have sounded great just as an instrumental, but hey with words it is still an excellent track from an excellent album, despite the large hatred of this album! Makes me wonder what songs might have been better as instrumentals, as opposed to with lyrics, as some of the detailed orchestrations are not truly heard, due to the vocal tracks covering up some great subtle guitar and synth work! Mind you, nothing would have improved THE APE, except, the button on the master console that read, delete/purge. ------------------------------ Subject: RE: Mark King Audio CD problems From: "ALLAN ROBERTSON" Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2001 21:07:12 -0000 >Subject: Mark King Audio CD problems >From: "Mark Mohr" >Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2001 09:41:49 -0700 >Hey everybody!

Alan Barnes. Of course it's entirely possible that only I and his mother know this, but that doesn't make it any less true. Alan Barnes also has the exquisite taste to have recorded on a number of occasions with the sublime David Newton, arguably this country's finest pianist. Of course it's entirely possible that only I and Alan Barnes' mother feel like this. >Subject: LEVEL 42 BOOK >From: "ALLAN ROBERTSON" > >IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE "LEVEL 42" BOOK - THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY - THEN >WHY NOT? Since you're shouting about it, and without wishing in any way to prevent young Laurence from shifting more of his stockpile, I'll tell you why. I like mystique. I like the secret magic that surrounds the creative process. I don't want to know about every little detail of what went into a record. What the artists in question want me to hear is what they put out on vinyl. I appreciate that I'm in a minority in this viewpoint but that's why I DO NOT HAVE THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY, and you can stop haranguing me about it.
