Is it time to reclaim Level 42? They were actually fairly sound, supported Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the midst of the Thatcherite 80s. Mark King's fashion sense might have been a bit Miami Vice but his bass playing was very very funky, when I was in the anarcho-punk scene some of my friends (admittedly bass players) really started gettting into him, so you'd be round somebody's house listening to Crass and Psychic TV then suddenly someone would put on Level 42. Admittedly we were living in Luton Casual Central so some of that soulboy vibe must have rubbed off on all of us. Running in the Family still brings a tear to my eye.
