World Machine was the album that changed everything for Level 42, and set them on the path to true super-stardom. Released in 1985, it was a hit both here and in the States, and has now been certified double Platinum. It was on this album, the band’s sixth, that arguably they nailed down the sound and the style that made them one of the biggest groups in the world. On this album they refined the funky pop fusion that had grown from their jazz roots – and had already brought them serious success – and truly made it their own. World Machine features the singles ‘Something About You’ (the band’s only American top 10 hit) and ‘Leaving Me Now’, and it shows the band’s progression in style and confidence that would lead to their massive Running In The Family album the following year.
