Level 42 Digest for Friday, February 28, 2003

And MIkey...the audience sitting in the READING DVD doesn't spoil the gig for me one bit.. I'm actually watching the band on stage, not the people in the audience. ;-)

For me (watching the DVD), it makes it look like a meeting of the knitting club. If the cameras were just fixed on the stage, it would be one thing, but they film the audience many times, and you don't do that unless you are trying to capture and portray the "live" aspect of the show. In this specific [DVD's] case, it detracts from the sense of "live energy" that I sense while sitting in my living room watching this show. Just kind of makes it a bit staid.

I don't agree with that, frankly I find all 3 sub-par musicians. For them to get a record deal of any kind would be _far_ harder than getting some cuts on a "Level 42" release.

While I agree that it would be nearly impossible for these guys to get a recording contract, I'd argue it has little to do with their musicianship. Have you listened to the radio in the past, err, 10 years? Seems like chops have been replaced with T&A as the main requirements for getting a recording contract (not that I'm knocking T&A). My opinion is that these three guys are good musicians... perfect, in fact, for the current lineup as a cover band. I think they would be very suitable for a new MK-related studio recording effort as well, particularly since this is probably less challenging than playing live (although I don't have first hand studio experience to back up this statement... someone will surely correct me here.) Doesn't it really come down to the material more so than the mucianship? (or actually, material and then musicianship are distant 2nd and 3rd requirements after the T&A, as mentioned above.)

MIkey wrote:

Antiquated, perhaps - but at the end of the day if I have to fly to London every November for the rest of my life to see L42 on stage - then so be it!

But Mike (referencing my comments above), would you continue to do this if (a) you didn't know anyone in the band, and/or (b) didn't know anyone else attending the show, and/or (c) didn't have such an effervescent personality that enabled you to make friends and have loads of fun if even at an insurance salesman's conference.

Again, for me, the draw to see the shows is at least 50% because of the surrounding social aspect and events (I.e., we've coined this "Levelfest" stuff.) If it were just me, attending the shows, with all of the incentive being "just the show", then I couldn't possibly justify spending the time/$ to fly over. If there were playing in downtown Boston (or even NYC), then I'd make the trip... but otherwise I would probably wouldn't. Of course this all assumes "same old stuff", no new material, etc. And of course no pyrotechnics at the show... (sorry, off color joke here.)

Let's go with an idea that Carl Mueller has been throwing around for what seems like forevernow - getting all the digest fans together and fundraise (get the $$$$$$) and make a US appearance happen - that may be the only way! I am willing to put my money where my big mouth is! Let the "BRING MK TO AMERICA CAMPAIGN BEGIN!!!!!!!!!"

Oh, groan, yawn.... I think the cost-per-attendee for this would exceed that of just traveling to the UK (or India for that f*ing matter!)

Finally, my ship has come in! Anyone interested in this limited edition please send me your CD + US$100 for prompt service.... or wait for the eBay edition, soon to be selling for $200.

FYI I've got to say that nothing interests me more (on the Digest) than some good old fashioned difference of opinion.

Re: Jennifer Norwood's "What Makes A Great Level 42 Song"... great list/criteria! Now all you need to do is go through their entire back catalog and rate every song... :) Then we can once and for all "rate" their albums best-to-worst. And also, you could probably come up with a similar set of criteria for live shows... I.e., % of audience standing vs. sitting, thickness (mm) of set list lamination, etc. [ed note: am I being sarcastic here... or not? You decide.]

As we head towards another pointless war it's healthy to debate all this stuff, it's what we gather on the digest for every day, it keeps us sane , takes our mind off things and it's fun. It;s also good to keep it all in context and not take it too seriously really. I guess each and every person here ought to question what Level 42 and it's music really means to them, and what, to them also, is most important in respect of what I've mentioned above. We will all have differing opinions that's for sure, and I'm glad it's that way, there would be no digest if we all agreed all the time.

AMEN!

Eric are you still trying to come?

I *want* to go, and am looking for travel deals, but at this time I'm still uncommitted.

David Buddy wrote:

In case anybody hasn’t noticed, he’s still touring and TRYING to please the rather impatient fan-base he’s built up over the last twenty odd years. So for Christ sake folks, get off the guy’s back and give him a break eh!

Lets differentiate "trying to please" and "trying to placate" (while making a buck in the process).

If people are yearning for new material (which is clearly the case), then I think MK needs to be motivated to produce some.

Two very powerful motivators for taking action, I.e., to produce new material:

1) anger (at comments appearing on this Digest)

2) disgust (over the realization that he's been playing the same-old-stuff the same-old-way for years now)

Two significant reason why people fail to act (again, in the context of MK producing new material):

1) fear (people won't like it, won't buy it, and I'll lose my money and fame...)

2) apathy (what's in it for me? I can't see the obvious upside... $ or otherwise)

So, who wants to start a wager pool about when/if new material will surface?

Oh and before anyone immediately starts dissecting this e-mail and replying with their own brand of wit, you know who you are. I didn’t write it to upset anyone, or to have a particular go at anyone. It was just to add a neutral train of thought to it all, honest.

Neutral schmeutral. Lets get it on! Witness how many people come out of the woodwork to write thoughtful, interesting content when they read something that they really dis/agree with (myself included.)

cheers,

Eric

2 - Waterfalling, Drunks and Carparks, Yamaha Adverts
From:	Steve Randall <Steve.Randall @ mouchel.com>

Dear All I enjoyed and agreed with the very sensible posting from Paul Scarrat yesterday. Going back to the early days and set lists, I used to hate it when they played Eyes Waterfalling. I'm not sure why I don't like that track. It could be that it is tense, and a great relief when the bridge comes. Maybe it is that it seems to get nowhere. But at least I have tried to explain why I don't like it. I don't just announce that its rubbish. But here you have an instance of somebody not liking one of the early classics, let alone tracks from the "lost in the wilderness" or "deaththrows" periods. Most pieces of music seem to get somewhere. Consider a piece of music like a drunk walking across a car par. He will enter one corner and leave by some other exit but meander around inside, in some sort of constructive way, aiming for his exit. Maybe the drunk falls asleep in Eyes Waterfalling after finding his bottle and sitting down at the bridge! In fact, it does sort of peter out at the end. A note on gigs. I always used to look forward to October / November, the time of L42 tours. Only a few people went to more than 2 or 3 gigs. Any more was costly and overkill. But then one would here nothing for the rest of the year as they have never really been played much on the radio. Re Mark being the band, I remember the master class, on which I thought he sounded like the band. Then I heard the Mike Lindup comercials for Yamaha. He sounded like Level 42 all on his own too, and not a hint of slappy old bass at all!

I have to agree with AG regarding Dean's posting the other day. Dean, I think you hit the nail on the head with one of the most constructive posts i've read for a long time. At the same time, I would like say that if it wasn't for members like jt then this digest could become a boring read. I look forward to the digest popping into my inbox each morning to see who's written what. It'd be a shame if it lost it's edge. As long as postings don't become personal attacks on each other, then who's hurting? On a sarcastic note: Pete Devlin, I have three words I need to say to you mate: paragraphs, paragraphs, paragraphs.

Don, Jon Stewart didnt host because the Grammy folks decided to just let various 'ny voices' do the intro. And seeing how they only gave away 10 awards on the actual show, it didnt matter. They said they were concentrating on the live performances. I didnt see it anyway. ;-( Dan, i understand how u feel, but i just dont agree with you. Phil and Boon sold the rights to the name, such a LONG time ago, when they originally left the band. So if either of them had a problem, then was the time to speak up. They didnt have a problem with Mark and Mike continuing the band, so why should we? Any why is Level 42 a GOULD family band? I was always under the impression that the orig 4 got together to jam, when Mike set up a room for them at GUidhall? I didnt know it was already a GOULD band, and Mark & Mike joined. It was Boon and Mark who were really the friends i believe. I'm sorry folks, but i dont subscribe to this 'MK will sully the name' stuff. Regardless of what Mark, Mike, Phil, or Boon does in the future, it has NOTHING to do with what the original lineup achieved in the past. Those records are still on the shelf, and sound exactly the same to me. IN truth, i dont think many people who go to the shows give a damn. A huge portion of them dont even know all the bands names to begin with. The fact of the matter is this..MOST bands are gonna be known by the guy who sings the songs..regardless of what else they do.. which is why i think Mark and Mike were always gonna be in the spotlight. Obviously Mark's bass playing talent made the spotlight shine a little harder on himself, so he gets remembered a bit more than the others. I recall seeing DA LATA in Central PArk a few years ago, and 2 girls behind me recognized that it was 'that guy' from Level 42 playing the keyboards. (so the other members do get noticed as well) Marks solo albums were not the greatest in the world...i agree. Trash was unfinished demos, hence the name. One Man being compared to the other level 42 ouput is pointless, since it came sooo long after, and INFLUENCES was done so quickly. But i really like that album, but realize the jazz fusion flavor is not everyones cup of tea. For my money CHANGES is still the best thing to come from the band, as a solo effort. Having said that, listening to Mark's solo efforts doesnt mean that it's obvious that other band members were more responsible for the sound, than he was. It's a band, so i think all of them had a good deal on input. Lyrics are very important, but so is the melody, and i'd guess that Mark had more input in this area than any of the other band members. If you look at all of the credits on all of the songs, he had his hand in more songwriting credits than most. I really dont know how much any of these guys contributed, as we are not privy to the songwriting process, or what they did in the studio. Also, until Phil does something else, we might never know. If Phil releases a bunch of dud albums, are we to rethink his position in the band, and say 'hmmm, maybe it was the other guys after all'? My last point is regarding Mark's use of the name again. Lots of people just assume he aquired the rights, so he could make a ton of money on the name. Well, he didnt start using it right away, with the exception of 'level 42's mark king'. My understanding is that Mark's aquisition of the name, was only at the request of certian parties who were funding the tour. Which makes sense to me, if i'm putting up the cash, i want name recognition the band had, because even if people know mark king, they know the band name more than any members name. I still like the original band, and i think the current band is doing a good job, playing the old material. HOpefully if a new lp comes out, it will feature the new band, since the old band has no interest in reforming. BUt they are separate things, so i dont compare them to each other. just my opinons.

I'm catching up on my Digests for the past... err... week+, and I've got various responses. Mikey Payne wrote: If anybody would like to me to check out some fares, (no cost for digesters of course, I waive my commission) for L42 UK summer dates or even Indonesia - I would be happy to find you something you can afford!

I have to say that I wasn't aware how many of you in USA traveled back to UK to see gigs ....you guys are 'true fans' ...either true fans or true suckers... you decide. But seriously, I would have to add that if it weren't for the great social aspect at/around these shows, making the cross-Atlantic trip would probably not be worth the effort. For me, its the welcoming and hospitable vibe of the UK and European folks that really make these trips worthwhile.

Speaking of Nightfly, I just read the other day that they are releasing (or already have) an HDCD version - that's high def CD, which far greater clarity/quality than the standard CD. What are the chances that we'll see a Level 42 reissue on HDCD?

Can anyone explain why Jon Stewart didn't host as he was supposed to? Perhaps I can. When he learned Norah Jones (should that be Snore-a-Jones)? was going to win all those Grammy's he decided he just didn't want to be part of the show. I don't care if she is Ravi Shankar's daughter, she puts me to sleep. If she's the '"best" current music has to offer in all those categories, we're all in trouble. Sweet little Avril was at least a breath of fresh air and I believe she either writes or co-writes her material to boot!! Same with John Mayer. The record companies decry lost CD sales and then put up for the world to see just how terrible the current popular music scene is via the Grammy Award winners. Stewart tried to disassociate himself from that mockery. I've recently heard rumors that someday Bono hopes to be as big as Eminem is. (whew - now I feel better) JM

Many moons ago my neighbour worked for a tv-company. He once asked me to step in for a business-runningevent as his partner was ill. So i decided to ran the lungs out of my body and finished my 10 kilometer in a sharp 38 minutes. ( i won gold ;-) ) After the event we had some drinks ( read; beers!) and were dicussing music. he told me he knew a guy who had a list of cd-bootlegs He instantly phoned him to ask if there was any boot of L42 on the list and gues what; the white funky was on it. He ordered it, and a week later i got from him as a gift for my input at the running event. Now i dont know how many copys are made but does anyone know who were involved in this ? And if there are no so many copies; what would it be worth ? ( or what would you pay for it ?) cheers Willem.
