Excellent questions (and points), Steve. These questions (and points) essentially circumference the penultimate demise of Level42. Unfortunately the speculation bat is ever flapping about as we have no Truth here (maybe someone should write a book?). One would, based on the facts, probably have to point the proverbial fingers at Crockford, who continually bruised and blemished the title of “manger” (or a good one, at least), and Mark King, who obviously was on a quest to Waterloo riding the Fame Wave. j(ay) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

My money is on “setback” = MK didn’t score some colossal contract he thought he was gonna score with the not-really-all-of-a-sudden-resurfaced name “Level42”. -keith ashley > Can anyone else back me up on this one before i get > trashed by the usual > gang? I don’t recall that bizarre little anecdote, but gawd knows anything can come out of MK’s pie hole (aside from the truth, maybe). Funny story though; maybe someone should write a book… Don’t worry about the “trashings”, consider the source(s), to me they are some of the most whacked out things I have ever read…(my favorite has to be someone writing me upon Boon’s announcement of the ‘reformation’, and my subsequent postulation that this is All About Money, that MK was (along with the emailer, no less!) currently entering a “spiritual” time in his (their) life (lives)... Priceless. - Andy Kennedy > And does anyone care? [re: stephen whyte’s post] Hmmm, well, apparently we aren’t swimming the intelligent end of the pool too well, are we? Obviously Stephen cares, otherwise he would not have taken the time to think and type out some pretty interesting thoughts. Nor would the 2 or 3 responders have taken the “dull” time to give answer. A brief interlude of actual L42 content and you bitch and, of course, add valueless font to. Who knows, maybe you are just looking for attention ala The Pom’s last post… Where the hell is Travis when we need him? j(ay) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Yes, I remember, and I have that interview somewhere. I am in the process of organizing all the interviews I can collect, so stay tuned and it may surface. :o) | ||

Hi all,
When I went to the Dreams & Visions section On Forevernow.com, it read:
NOTE: As of 4/15/03 no new
requests are being taken anymore. Enough copies are out there now, so if you are
looking for a copy post to the Level 42
Digest and/or Level 42 Web
Digest.
So, what kind soul can help me out with getting a copy? And as far as CDRs
are concerned, will a 700MB, 80 minute CDR work? I know that 74 minutes was
suggested, but that's what I have immediately available. And yes, my DVD player
is CDR and CDR-W compatible.
Anyone who can help, please contact me at my e-mail address.
Thanks!!
Chris Lawless
