People who go "incognito" usually have something to hide. That certainly cant be said of Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick and his exciting band. Firstly, Incognito is much too good to hide itself away.

Later, Incognito's cover of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" topped the charts in the early 90s. This live performance captures the energy and raw talent that have characterized this band since their inception; the song list includes: "Good Love," "One Hundred And Rising," "Everybody," "Spellbound And Speechless," "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing," "Harvest For The World," "Colibri," "Still A Friend Of Mine," and "Always There."

LEVEL 42 - RETROGLIDE Tour 2006 - 2007 (2008 released) DVD9

Filmed live at the New Theatre, Oxford, on 31/10/06, Retroglide is a recording of Level 42's last English show on the 2006 tour of the same name. The show is chock full of pitch perfect 4 part harmony vocals, fantastic guitar work from Mark's brother 'Nathan', great Sax solos from Sean Freeman, some complicated grooves from Gary Husband - one of the best British funk drummers around, wonderful additional percussion from Kwaku Dzidzornu and of course longest serving members Lindup and King sharing vocal duties and really showing talent on their instruments. The live sound is wonderfully mixed and monitored although some older fans feel the bass is hidden to low in the mix. I think this may be due to the fact that King is using his Retroglide and Black Beauty Status basses that fans of the old Jaydees and Alembics are disapproving of. Personally - I think it's great. I always think that King will overcrowd with his lines and get in the way of the vocal but I suppose that is something he has worked on over the years by doing both at the same time and nailing the balance every time. The original feel, sound and flavour of the studio tracks is still present but with new twists and turns musically. Good light show too!
