Level 42

Reseña
El álbum de debut homónimo que inaugura la discografía de Level 42, lanzado en 1981, es una vibrante y sofisticada carta de presentación que sacudió la escena musical británica. Este trabajo presentó a una banda con un virtuosismo instrumental asombroso y un sonido único que fusionaba el jazz-funk, el soul y el pop de una forma completamente nueva. Por lo tanto, desde el primer momento, Level 42 se estableció como una propuesta diferente y de una calidad excepcional.
En primer lugar, el álbum destaca por la increíble habilidad de sus músicos. De hecho, la técnica de "slap" en el bajo de su líder y vocalista, Mark King, se convirtió instantáneamente en su seña de identidad, una ametralladora rítmica que impulsaba todas las canciones. Por consiguiente, su estilo redefinió el papel del bajo en la música pop.
Además, el disco tiene un fuerte componente instrumental, con largas secciones en las que la banda demuestra su maestría. Así pues, temas como "Sandstorm" o "Theme to Orson" son ejemplos perfectos de su faceta más jazzística. Mientras tanto, el contrapunto lo ponen los teclados y la suave voz de Mike Lindup, que junto a la de King, creaban unas armonías vocales muy distintivas. El single "Love Games" se convirtió en su primer éxito, una pieza de funk elegante y contagiosa.
En definitiva, el debut de Level 42 es una obra de una frescura y una musicalidad apabullantes. Es el sonido de cuatro jóvenes músicos de la Isla de Wight que llegaban para demostrar que se podía hacer música bailable, compleja y comercial al mismo tiempo, sentando las bases de lo que se conocería como "sophisti-pop".

[X]letra de Turn It On
Reach into to another day
And the world is just one step away
Making money living blind
It's time to change - leave it all behind
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
Hear the echoes in your heart
tune your minds in then make a start
Anything you want to be
Will soon become reality
Then you'll see
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
You're out of touch - so turn it up
You don't need much - to burn it up
Take a different point of view
And discover just what you can do
Getting closer every day
Now the world is just a step away - (don't delay)
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
You hit the top - so turn it up
You'll never stop - just burn it up
Turn it on (turn it on) - whenever you can
Turn it on (groovin' on) - you know that you can
Turn it on (turn it on, yeah) - whenever you can
Turn it on (just movin' on) - you know that you can
Turn it on
Turn it on
Turn it on

[X]letra de Almost There
Watch the paper window - see the stars
News and views to show you who you are
Keep the money moving change the scene
Open up the market with our dreams
Almost there - you and I
Catch the fall - touch the sky
Love a lot - paper view
Now's the time - make your move
Keep the money moving
As long as we are using
Almost without knowing
Getting ego's burning
Freightend they stop turning
See the judge adjourning
Play your part and don't get in their way
Black and White they say you must believe
Now they found a sound that we obey
If you wait to long the tide will turn
Then there'll be some brand new rules to learn
Almost there - you and I
Catch the fall - touch the sky
Love a lot - paper view
Now's the time - make your move
Read a million pages
Every headline ages
Nothing ever changes
There's a time for laughing
Time will soon be passing
Make your mark before you fade away - Heathrow 4:43
- Love GamesVer letra 7:25
[X]letra de Love Games
As I watch your face
I can see my life go by
You mean everything to me
Just can't take no more
Throw a smile my way
And the pain I feel inside
Turns to love for you
And I'm yours
Do lovers ever need to hide
The things they really feel inside
I simply need you to need me
Can't you see
Once I hoped to be
Your lover and your friend
But it turned into a game
I won't play no more
I believe I'm right
When I say you loved me too
It just can't go on
Your love games
Your love games
Do lovers ever need to hide
The things they really feel inside
If you won't show your heart to me
Set me free
Now the time has come
To show you how I feel
The love I gave to you
I can't give no more
Even now I see
The salt tears in your eyes
But it can't go on
Your love games
Your love games
Your love games
Your love games
[Repeat to fade] - Dune Tune 4:50
- StarchildVer letra 6:52
[X]letra de Starchild
When I was an infant in my mother's arms
I would watch the starlight in her face
'Cause I was reaching out to understand the cosmic charm
I am just a starchild born in space
Way up high above the sky
All that beauty passes by
Whole worlds still unknown
And out beyond the blue
There's a place for people too
It's time for us to go
I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise
I have been there, I have seen it
Everywhere space people stare through ageless eyes
I have seen them, I believe it
Way up high above the sky
All that beauty passes by
Whole worlds still unknown
And out beyond the blue
There's a place for people too
It's time for us to go
We have time
(In my dreams)
Time and space
While we're young
(Floating free)
We can chase
To the stars
Searching for the magic in the universe
Guided by the stars that light my way
I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise
I am just a starchild born in space
If you want to go with me I'll take you there
I've been shown the secrets face to face
I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise
I am just a starchild born in space
