i love me some world party!

i recently scoured my local used wrecka stow for the less popular world party albums and plan on soon expanding my horizons beyond the first two albums...

You really should.

His / their third album 'Bang' mixes acoustic pop with more dance-orientated stuff in a suprising way. The reprise of 'Give it all away' reminds me a lot of Prince, the song Positivity especially.

Their 4th album Egyptology is quite dark, with obvious touches of Bob Dylan and revolver-era Beatles, an album that takes some time to get into, but pays off in the end.

Their last album, Dumbing up, is a bit too polished and predictable for my own taste, but nonetheless their are some great pieces of songwriting and arranging to be find on that album.
