Level 42: Running in the Family (Polydor)
Rob Tannenbaum, Rolling Stone, 18 June 1987
AFTER SEVERAL albums of funk-fusion flash, Level 42 harnessed its considerable instrumental ability on World Machine, as sleek and agreeable a digital-era pop record as anything by Lionel Richie or Steve Winwood. On Running in the Family, the British quartet goes further in targeting the CD audience with an album of songs about the small problems of middle-class adulthood.
