Internationally popular synth-funk quartet best known in the UK for their hits 'Lessons in Love', 'Something About You' and 'The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up)'. Level 42 started life on the Isle Of Wight, Though their membership has fluctuated throughout the years, the original and perhaps best-known lineup consisted of Mark "Thunderthumbs" King (vocals & bass), Mike Lindup (vocals & keyboards) and brothers Boon Gould (guitar) and Phil Gould (drums). This was how the band looked up until their Staring at the SunLP, when the Gould brothers parted company from King and Lindup. At the end of the 80s, Mark King was recognized as one of the best bass players in the world at the time. His style and virtuosity still are hugely influential, considering he also sang while he played very difficult basslines.
