World Party - Give It All Away

Whatever happened to World Party? I figure I'll be saying that a lot with these tape entries.

Karl Wallinger was, as far as I could tell, World Party. Before that he was in the Water Boys (I forgot all about that). This track is from the third album, Bang!. I seem to remember that World Party had some kind of 'green' pretensions - perhaps most noticeable on Put the Message in a Box.

Anyways, I like the full on production on this track, its very layered, intense and quite mesmeric and Mr Wallinger sounds quite concerned about giving it all away.

Here is the website of World Party, but it seems unattended, deserted.
You may do better at All Music.

The C90 rating:

Its good - but not enough to buy.
