Matt Phillips Level 42 On Track book Mark King
Matt PhillipsLevel 42 On Track is the first in-depth study of Level 42’s catalogue. 
 
A track by track, album by album investigation into the band’s eclectic body of work, it includes recording information, musical analysis, studio gossip, and contributions from Mark King and Gary Husband
 
Additionally covering the solo projects of the band’s many members, this is an essential guide for fans as well as those interested in the wider musical landscape of the 1980s and 1990s.
 
Encompassing eleven studio albums - including twenty UK top 40 hits and two US top twenty singles - Level 42’s output defined a particular 1980s musical approach, but also reflected the individual members' musical virtuosity and refined tastes (with influences coming from the likes of Herbie Hancock, Return To Forever and The Mahavishnu Orchestra).
