MADPOD LEVEL 42 INTERVIEW

At the beginning of their career, Level 42 was a jazz-funk fusion band,
following in the footsteps of such pioneers as Stanley Clarke. By the
end of the ’80s, they were a pop-R&B band with a number of hit singles
to their credit. Featuring the stellar Mark King (bass, vocals), Phil
Gould (drums), Boon Gould (guitar), and Mike Lindup (keyboards), the
band formed in 1980. Before they released their first single, “Love
Meeting Love,” the band was pushed to add vocals to their music in order
to give it a more commercial sound; they complied, with King becoming
the lead singer. Released in 1981, their self-titled debut album was a
slick soul-R&B collection that charted in the U.K. Top 20, resulting in
the release of The Early Tapes by their former record label, Polydor.
Level 42 had several minor hit singles before 1984’s “The Sun Goes Down
(Living It Up)” hit the British Top Ten. Released in late 1985, World
Machine broke the band worldwide; “Lessons in Love” hit number one in
Britain and “Something About You” hit number seven in America. Their
next two records, Running in the Family (1987) and Staring at the Sun
(1988), were a big success in the U.K., yet only made some headway in
the U.S. Both of the Gould brothers left the band in late 1987; they
were replaced by guitarist Alan Murphy and drummer Gary Husband. Murphy
died of AIDS-related diseases in 1989; he was replaced by the renowned
fusion guitarist Alan Holdsworth for 1991’s Guaranteed. The band
followed Guaranteed in 1995 with Forever Now. Mark King rejoins Shadoe
from the UK.
