I am not at all surprised about that one. He don't seem to be into not doing much about anything to do with his music. A bit of a shame, but ask him about Dr.Who the british tv series, and he will prob talk! He love the stuff.

That's a shame. I was looking forward to reading that.
Platinum Record [Level 8]
Yes... I was really hoping he would answer a few questions about his long career from his 70s disco days right through to his 80`s HINRG period and what his current projects are... Love his music or hate it, he certainly made his mark on the dance music scene !!

I did try to get Ian on here to answer the many questions I know you all have. He seemed reluctant and I never pushed the issue any further.Originally Written by Energyguy

Why should he bother coming here when there are no opportunities for him to make money?

That's slightly harsh I feel.

harsh... but probably some truth to it (unfortunately)

Maybe we could lure him with the promise of snacks???Why should he bother coming here when there are no opportunities for him to make money?

Harsh and silly I'd have said.
Anyone have any specific questions? I can only ask him.

I've just realised who "straight acting" is....oh dear !

That's too bad, I was looking forward to that. He's such a influential and controversial figure, it would be great to read more of his recollections on his career.
Platinum Record [Level 8]
It is sad as, like it or not... he had a big influence on the HINRG genre and he has had an interesting career as both DJ/producer since the 1970s...you never know - we may eventually "lure" him on to the site

My posting must have gone missing. If anyone has any specific questions I can ask him.
Platinum Record [Level 8]
i would like to ask Levine some questions about his career -
1) What are his personal favourite recordings from his 80s HINRG period ?
2) Which female vocalists has he enjoyed working with the most ?
3) Would he venture into the dance music genre again ?
4) Anyone he would like to record with but never had the opportunity ?
