FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description One of the most iconic and successful British bands of the 1980s, Level 42 are also arguably the ultimate fusion unit, streamlining their energetic early jazz/funk/rock sound into slick, effortlessly-soulful pop music. Encompassing eleven studio albums, including twenty UK top 40 hits and two US top twenty singles, their catalogue, in many ways, defines the 80s but also reflects their musical virtuosity and vibrant eclecticism, peppering tracks with influences from Herbie Hancock, Return To Forever and The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Emerging from the so-called Britfunk scene, Level 42 developed from being one of the most electrifying live acts of the era to become a true songwriters collective, delivering the effervescent, ubiquitous hits The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), Something About You and Lessons In Love.
