Come on now. Have you not seen my Avatar??? 
I have a bunch of the stuff you have mentioned on there. And yes....Level 42 had/has some REALLY GOOD stuff that was slept on in my opinion. In another thread on here I just mentioned a couple songs from The Pat Metheny Group's First Circle album..which happens to be my favorite group album by them. BTW....Pat's previous drummer..Paul Wertico has an album out. I will do today what you won't, so tomorrow I can do what you can't. | |

Yeah, Emily's Cool!! You can hear everything : Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Ravel, Tori Amos, Kurt Weill, Keith Jarrett---Rock/Jazz/Classical/ Folk/Avant Garde....That's the kind of artist I like---really, in a category all her own---" I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

As a matter of fact I need to dust of World Machine tonight and give it a couple 'o spins. I could go for some "Good Man In a Storm" and "Leaving Me Now". | |
