Our Take

LEVEL 42, Standing In The Light (Gold Vinyl)

Remember when Level 42 said, "Hey, let's make an album that sounds like a piglet snorting cocaine off a disco ball"? No? Well, that's basically what Standing In The Light on gold vinyl sounds like. It's like if Duran Duran and Jamiroquai had a love child and named it Funky McFunkerson.

From the opening track, "Micro-Kid," you're immediately transported to a world where every day is Saturday night and the dance floor never sleeps. The infectious bassline, groovy synths, and Mark King's unmistakable slaptastic bass solos will have you itching to bust out your best shoulder pads and dance like it's 1983.

But it's not all about the party vibes, oh no. Tracks like "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" and "The Chinese Way" show a softer, more introspective side to Level 42. The poignant lyrics about love, loss, and the human condition will have you reaching for the tissues while also tapping your feet in time to the beat.

Standing In The Light on gold vinyl is a must-have for any Level 42 fan, or anyone looking to inject a little funk into their music collection. So grab your glitter ball, slip on your dancing shoes, and get ready to boogie the night away with this timeless classic. Trust us, you won't regret it.
