"Dune Tune" circa '82 (Check out Mike Lindup's Dashiki and Afro, Lol!)

You hear a definite Stanley Clarke influence here...

I have to check it out. I love Level 42's "Running In The Family"

That first clip is great. That's some damn fine bass playing. Les Claypool could learn a thing or two.

The funny thing is that Mark was primarily a drummer shortly before they formed the band (in fact, most of the band were primarily percussionists!)

The Funkologist fro :afro pick is back in business. One of Mark's funkiest cuts is this one. He definitely put some stank on it. Check this out :http://www.youtube.com/wa...XZoowWAPZA

Holdsworth actually did some live sets with Level 42 at wembley--though I've yet to grab any live footage, sad (I know it's out there somewhere, though....)
