When Mark King plays his bass, it’s a huge victory for humanity.

[MatthewHarrold]

I can understand/accept how Mark King plays excellent bass lines ... what blows my mind is his ability to sing so well while doing it.

[NickTann]

What I find most enjoyable is that he fucking loves it!

[alancox]

In my opinion level 42 will be and continue to be one of the best musical bands.

I've been enjoying the music of Level 42 for 38 years since first hearing Love Games back in '81. Their fantastic music has seen me through many house moves, holidays, changes of car, living abroad and even divorce, the music has been a constant backdrop to my life.
There are many great bass players, Stanley Clarke, Louis Johnson, Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Bernard for me the greatest of them all is Mark King, his ease of rhythm and pure funk is unequalled, a flurry of notes that your ears tell you are impossible to plays them with ease. A creative genius who makes it look so easy by doing the impossible, singing AND chewing gum too.
He also plays a really soulful, melodic bass when playing 'finger style', just listen to Love Meeting Love or Leaving Me Now to understand that other great dimension to his playing. I salute you Mr King, you are truly a bass god. I look forward to seeing you on tour for many years to come and enjoying the music that you make so well 👍

One of the greatest slap bass guitarists of all time. One of the great guitarists too.

Brilliant band. Unforgettable music, is Level 42.

Level 42: geweldige band. Wel bijzonder dat een basgitarist zo centraal staat in een band, dat komt bij mijn weten niet zo veel voor. En wat een basgitarist! Mark King is echt fantastisch!

[LG-klco]

Mark is without doubt a credit to his profession and the very fact that he is so up front and prepared to reveal all....what more can you say ?

[feugeltje]

When i first heard Starchild ( extended Version ), followed up by Love Games, it changed my life.
Thank you, Level 42.
