Mike has been delaying the release of Conversations With Silence for some time now, mainly because he's been trying to secure the release through an independant label. Does anyone know how this is progressing, or does the recent announcement mean there will be a further delay until after the summer? And for what it's worth, I believe that if it wasn't for our two initialled posters then sadly this digest would rapidly become a mundane experience. Keep it up, guys.

I think this is just a prime e.g. of the ol’ ‘art imitating life’ with MK simply “be(ing) strong to the friends you know”. --Nick Lauro Nice post, Nick. > First of all, they don't need a record company. Why? Good point, I’ve seen several mentions that the new Simply Red is a self-released project, and they are getting air play and vid play quite a bit, plus they are playing a venue far larger than MarkyBaby played here last year. But I think the label thing will be pursued, if not for the sole reason(s) that they (the label) will pick up the leg-work (promoting, distribution and other things that L42 have never had smashing suck-sess at), and then if the project washes ashore dead (enter Roy Schieder), well, there’s always someone else to blame. > I think we're looking at an artistic release here, >where the monetary stakes aren't really at risk as >much a the "criticalacclaim" aspects are. I highly disagree, but very much enjoyed your post, and in this case, would actually love to be wrong. j __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Well, I don't really know what qualifies one as a "loyal" fan. I have a pretty good collection of Level 42 albums and I enjoy their music. If they release a new album, I'll buy it without having heard any of it beforehand, does that make me loyal? Perhaps I am jaded, but I like to consider myself a realist. I've consigned myself to the idea that the last Level 42 album was Forever Now. The news that they are in the studio working on a new album is certainly welcome news to me. To be honest, my quality of life will not be affected if a new album is not released before I die. If a new CD is released, great! If not, I'm not any worse off than I am now. At the risk of raising the ire of other Digesters, I'll say this: Life is much too short to worry about whether or not I'm going to hear any new music from Level 42. I will now don my asbestos suit. Flame away. -- Michael Monsen There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. | ||
