5.0 out of 5 stars Finally people are catching up with this! 13 Sep 2002
By Mr. Daniel Smith
Format:Audio CD
As soon as I heard Yorkshire band The Music's new album, which is getting rave reviews (quite rightly), I was reminded of Need For Not. What a fantastic album it was and is. Sometimes it's almost prog rock, but always with that full-on energy bursting out and so much fresher than grunge which was all the rage at the time. There must be hundreds of albums over the years that just get ignored or are too far ahead of their time to be acceptable, and this is definitely one of them.

Anyway, any fans of Levitation that wish there could've been more, buy The Music's album. Any fans of The Music that can't wait for their next album, get Need For Not right now!

Format:Audio CD
Stunning psychedelic guitar with EXTREMELY heavy guitar, hippy ambience, heavy riffs beautiful walls of sound. I CANNOT RECOMMEND LEVITATION ENOUGH! Buy 'Coterie' as well cos they both are vital to show how good they were, how varied.....oh ill shut up now just BUY it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb! 30 Mar 2010
By MH
Format:Audio CD
The greatest album of the early 90s, or indeed of any other time. Levitation were truly so far ahead of their contemporaries that they weren't even in the same race, and even today in 2010 this is still a vision of a future for music that sadly never was. The power and positivism that radiates through these grooves remains truly staggering, while the band are an almost uncontrollable elemental force, every member vital and contributing. The flame that burns brightest burns fastest, unfortunately - but OH! what a light it gives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than The House Of Love, but not as good as Dark Star.
I was a bit young to have caught Levitation the first time around. However, after hearing Dark Star and The House Of Love, I thought I'd check them out. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very good, if two or three years before their time.
Following a well-publicized fall-out with frontman Guy Chadwick, guitarist Terry Bickers left the House of Love in 1990 to form Levitation with bassist Laurence O'Keefe,... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars May the Fourth Be With You
Actually released on May 4 1992 (hence the pun!), this album is probably one of the most intense released that year. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent version of "Smile" would have earned it 5 stars
For a brief period in the early 90's Levitation were one of my favourite bands. Then "Need for Not" was released. It turned out to be a pretty average album. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Levitation never gained the respect they deserved, a real shame. Some excellent tracks here, in fact Hangnail rates as one of my favourite tracks by anyone. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Smile - the experience is here!
With its unique combination of power and ambience, this album goes down as probably the most under-rated of all time. Levitation are the unsung heroes of rock heaven.
