- Level 42. Released 1981. Label Polydor. A strong live following on the Isle Of Wight and in the Home Counties’ nascent Britfunk scene, plus an album recorded for an indie label (of which more later), had led Polydor Records in hot pursuit of gifted young four-piece Level 42: Mark King on bass/vocals, Mike Lindup on keyboards/vocals, Rowland ‘Boon’ Gould on guitar and Phil Gould on drums.
- Strategy/ The Early T apes. Released 1982. Label Polydor. When Polydor signed the band in December 1980, Level 42 had already laid down a rough-and-ready album for Elite Records in two sessions during the previous March and August.
- The Pursuit Of Accidents. Released 1982. Label Polydor. By the time Level 42 came to write and record their second album The Pursuit Of Accidents at the beginning of 1982, plenty of water had passed under the bridge in a very short period of time.
- Standing In The Light. Released 1983. Label Polydor. Early 1983 looked like business as usual in the Level 42 camp when they adjourned to London’s Marcus Studios with producer Wally Badarou to lay down Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind.
- World Machine (1985) “It has some definitively 80s sounds to is, but some great jazzy / soulful horns and melodies, even more so than the hits Something About You (which is classic in it’s own right) and Leaving Me Now (which used to rip my heart out when I listened to it back in the day), that still sound good today.”
- Level 42 (1981) “Prior to this album I had no connection towards Jazz Funk whatsoever and where highly sceptical about it, after I inhaled it my interest in the genre started growing a lot though.
- Standing In The Light (1983) “Overall a perfect album, and a personal favorite. A good listen for thinkers with feelings, and anyone who understands there’s more to life than what’s expected of us by so-called authority.
- Running In The Family (1987) “This was really well written and truly showcases how well they had grown musically. Not as edgy of funk driven as the earlier albums but still it has that minor moody presence throughout that drew me to them in the first place.
The biggest band to come out of the Isle of Wight, Level 42 had success across Europe in the 1980s and early 1990s. Their music is a hybrid of pop, jazz and funk.
