===1993–1994: Fifth and sixth lineups (including brief return of Phil Gould), ''Forever Now'' and disbandment===

In early 1993, Gary Husband left Level 42, leading to the return of group founder member Phil Gould as Level 42's drummer (and principal lyricist) for 1994's ''[[Forever Now (Level 42 album)|Forever Now]]'' album. Further changes to the band were evident in that Jakko Jakszyk did not play on the album: all guitars were performed by the American session guitarist [[Danny Blume]] (erroneously credited as "Danny Bloom").

Although ''Forever Now'' was a critical success,{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} the reunion of Gould and the group was short-lived. When Level 42 began to promote the new album (with Jakszyk returning to the live band for concerts and TV appearances), Gould played only one promotional gig and did not go on the road for the ''Forever Now'' tour. He was replaced as live drummer by Jakszyk's friend and frequent collaborator [[Gavin Harrison]] (who later played drums for both [[Porcupine Tree]] and [[King Crimson]] as well as remaining an esteemed studio player). 

It was announced halfway through the ''Forever Now'' tour, on the day of the Manchester Apollo gig, that the band would be disbanding permanently following their concert commitments. Level 42 played their last gig at the Albert Hall in London on 14 October 1994. According to Jakszyk, the band recorded tapes for a live album during the final 1994 shows at the Albert Hall and the Brighton Dome which "sounded fantastic", but the album was never released.<ref>[http://www.calyx-canterbury.fr/mus/jakszyk_jakko.html Jakko Jakszyk] entry at Calyx</ref>
