World Party (1986-present)
Wallinger's first release under the World Party banner, Private Revolution (1986), was a combination of folk, funk and soul. Its title was a nod to its creation by Wallinger working alone in a home recording studio. It spawned a hit single in "Ship of Fools". Various musical colleagues from former projects contributed to the recordings, including Waterboys saxophonist Anthony Thistlethwaite, Sinéad O'Connor (singing backing vocals on "Hawaiian Island World") and the mysterious Delahaye.
World Party has gone on to release four more albums — Goodbye Jumbo, Bang!, Egyptology and Dumbing Up. In 2007, Karl Wallinger released Best in Show, a best-of album covering tracks from the studio albums.
