Oh yeah, he/she is hilarious. When things get slow, there's always time to
pick on the hermaphrodites.

That much I'll agree with.  I could understand fans holding their breath--and their opinions--until the current line-up has a chance to release their own album, which will result in them either being legitimized as "Level 42" or in them being run out of town on a rail for disgracing the good name.  But all the criticism at this point is premature.

I've been saying from the time it started that Mark's buying the rights to the name are part of a grander scheme.  Let's give the boys the benefit of the doubt until the new record comes out.  If it sucks, then I'll join you critics.  But, if it's great, you'll have to eat all these bitter words.  The bar is pretty high, but not unreachable.

You'd better make that "he/she/it", Trav.  Since no-one has actually seen the mysterious AG, it's possible that he is just a computer program.... ;o)


Peace - Z.

But this wasn't the case with the lead singer who took over from Phil
Collins was it?

>the recruitment of musicians simply to play old material.

Do you really think that MK has got the band together to just play old
material?Im sure there will be another level 42 album out and Phil or Boon
or maybe both will write on it.But the fact is Phil and Boon won't tour,Phil
is stressed by touring and Boon says he feels wooden on stage and doesnt
like touring.

>a conversation.

fair enough but everything just seems so negative or aggressive from you.I
just dont like the way you get aggressive with other Level 42 fans that are
only putting their point of veiw across,you also criticise their
English,some people are dislexis and can do without a pompous attitude
towards them.When we are writing our e-mail it is not an open invitation for
you to mark it.


 >I must brush up on my e-mail etiquette.

see we can agree on some things, ;-)
