Just a quick note wishing all you Level 42 fans out there a very Happy and Peaceful New Year. The highlight of the Year for me was seeing the new line-up in Hanover on 3 December. A memorable concert with all the old favourites songs then meeting and speaking with Mark at the end of the concert. What has been nice is to receive e Mails from Level 42 fans from the digest already. I have answered every one of them and still intend to do so. So feel free to write. Anyhow here is my 'top 10' of Level 42 tunes. I know that we will all differ but mine are (of course in reverse order)! No 10 A Pharaoh's Dream No 9 You can't blame Louis No 8 Children Say No 7 Weave Your Spell No 6 Love Meeting Love No 5 Lying Still No 4 Chinese Way No 3 Love Games No 2 Starchild No1 Something about You Video and Song 'pure brilliance.' regards Danny

5 - questions 'bout the VCD and Unreached Levels

Hello, gang, and Happy New Year! I'm now intrigued by the message about a VCD... did someone compile the post-TCOY videos on a VCD? I have Level Best on VHS and at some point, I'm transferring it to DVD. So can someone shed some light on my behalf? Also, my Unreached Levels CDs (specifically 1 and 3) are knackered. Would someone on the digest be willing to help me out in recovering them? Feel free to respond to my private e-mail if you'd prefer. pax Rich

Again, I tried sending this message a few days ago but I never saw it in the Digest. ...

Or maybe he thinks his real "heroes" are too unavailable to approach. Possibly he doesn't want to work with others and simply likes producing music for/by himself because Level 42, for so many years, was such a collaborative thing. > > > 2) if Mark were to hook up with other people, who do you think would > > be appropriate and desirable? > > I'd like him to work with my favorite artists, of course, to lend some cool grooves to their stuff.

He's noted for his fast thumbs but he really is nimble at regular finger plucking and he laid it down pretty well on "Freedom" which had sort of a Latin vibe. Back to question #2, I think > it'd be cool to hear him work with Cecilia Noel. > > Angel

I'm pretty sure they did appear... see: http://www.worldmachine.com/level42/archive/Level_42_Digest_for_Saturday_December_28_2002.html#13 On a side note, the archives will soon be indexed and searchable... but for the time being, they're stored on the Digest site in the filename-format shown above. cheers, Eric p.s. exactly 42 minutes until 2003! :)
