Level 42 – Staring At The Sun (1988 European Press CD)

Staring At The Sun is the 1988 studio album from British jazz-funk legends Level 42, marking a confident evolution in their signature sound that blends sophisticated grooves, melodic pop, and intricate musicianship. This 1988 European press CD presents the album with warm, dynamic clarity.

Driven by the tight rhythm section and Mark King’s distinctive slap bass, the record delivers a strong set of catchy yet musically rich tracks. Standout songs include the upbeat hit “Heaven In My Hands”, the smooth “Tracie”, the atmospheric title track “Staring At The Sun”, and the extended workout “Man”.
