"I discovered these guys at an HMV record store in London back in the late 80's and ended up buying everything they did. This one is pretty good; not up to the standards of World Machine and Guaranteed but not bad. If you are a serious Level 42 collector then by all means go for it."
Great CD !!!

"Don't expect "classic" Level 42 sound. It's not. What it is, is great songwriting and excellent production. It will make a cheap soundsystem sound good ! It took me a while to warm up to it, but once i "got it", I really like it. I listen to it in the car many times a week."

"Returning to Level 42 after so many years..was always a big fan of running in the family as a kid, felt I would be happy with this later work..AND I WAS! This music is bass driven of course but so well done that I probably listen to it at least once a week...a perenial favorite.

It'd be good if it were advertized as a Mark King solo album

"To me, what makes Level 42 work is the contrast between the jazz/funk/tenor vocals of Mark King and the synth-pop/falsetto of Mike Lindup. Mike Lindup rejoined Level 42 after Retroglide was mostly done, although he does appear on it in spots. The result doesn't sound like a Level 42 album at all.
I'm glad to hear the band's fully back together now, and I look forward to their next album, when Mike Lindup will be involved from the beginning.
