World Party is a British Group (London) based around largely Kurt Wallinger (who wrote all of these tracks). He had been with 'The Waterboys' before starting World Party. A bizarre name we think anyway but don't let that put you off.
Previous records were really his solo efforts whereas 'Bang' was a trio group. This was his/their 3rd Album in 1993 and their 2nd, 'Goodbye Jumbo' got a lot of acclaim, rightly so. Recommended too.
It's very poppy but that's great for a sunnier Summer. They supported 'Steely Dan' on tour at one stage, so you get the picture.
You'll know 'Is it Like today?' which was the single. But all the tracks are terrific especially when it opens on 'Kingdom Come'. 'What is love all about', 'Sooner or later', 'Sunshine' - great stuff.
One Band and Album you might not know, so good to have a go! These two tracks will give you sense.
Roll back the convertible and hit that road.
