It's solo work which has, as far as I know, never been released anywhere else. Phil plays drums on one of his own compositions called A Road Less Travelled, with Steve Lodder on piano, Dominic Miller on guitar and Eric Sanko on bass. Gary plays piano unaccompanied on a version of the old jazz standard There Will Never Be Another You. If the bidding doesn't go silly, it's quite a nice piece to have.

Not too complete in the area of music composition, I didn't take interest enough to find out that Level 42 is composed of percussionists. That is interesting. I have always been reminiscent of Earth Wind and Fire when I listen to Level 42. I think it is because they have a lot of interludes that involve many forms of percussion instruments. It takes a certain ear to find a home for those kinds of sounds. I definitely believe there is a strong influence there.

Also, could someone email me directly who was converted the IOW2000 concert onto video. I'm willing to trade for such a video or even pay cash !! Till the sun goes down...

I watched the 'House of Yes' DVD last night. Hey I tell you what, it's not half bad. In fact IMO it's worth having just for 'Awaken'. What a song that is, and what a performance of it. Tenuous L42 link -- both bands have splendid bass-players... :-)
