Wallinger was immersed from a young age in the music of The Beatles, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan and Love.

 Karl Wallenda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl Wallenda (January 21, 1905 - March 22, 1978) was the founder of The Flying Wallendas, an internationally known daredevil circus act famous for performing death-defying stunts without a safety net.
On July 18, 1970, a 65-year-old Karl performed a high-wire walk across Tallulah Gorge, a gorge formed by the Tallulah River in Georgia.
In 1978, at age 73, Karl attempted a walk between two hotels in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on a wire stretched 37 metres above the pavement, fell to his death when winds exceeded 48 kilometres per hour.

 Music: It's His Party (Memphis Flyer . 08-04-97)
For Wallinger, the good part of the con is it allows World Party to be what is essentially a one-man band.
After all, the project was born in the mid-'80s when Wallinger left the Waterboys to seek more creative control -- something he wasn't going to find in a band whose direction was primarily determined by lead singer Mike Scott.
For Wallinger, the idiom of that era's pop provides a common language he likens to other traditional forms such as jazz.

Wallinger would fit right at home in Wilson's elaborate setting.
Wallinger has every reason to look back fondly on a time gone by: "Egyptology," with all its own idiosyncrasies, harkens to those carefree days of empirical, multitextured recordings, when "real" sounds meant something.
Wallinger realizes "Goodbye Jumbo" is a tough act to top, but he said he's always trying.

 World Party - Psychology Central   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Karl took the opportunity up, and left the band on sour terms (not least of all from a suspicion in the Waterboys camp that World Party were being created by the label as a replacement owing to their difficulties with Mike Scott)
World Party's music is hard to categorise, being a tuneful but sophisticated pop and rock combination, with elements of folk, funk, R n B and soul thrown in with a lot of sound samples to give a "recycled" feel in accordance with the band's "Green" image.
Karl has also acted as a member of Bob Geldof's backing band.

One of the brightest lights on the music scene for most of the late 80's and all of the 1990's Karl Wallinger and his World Party were arguably the most melodic band on the planet, then 4 years ago, Karl Wallinger's world fell apart.
It seemed like Karl Wallinger’s 20 year old ship of fools was scuppered, taking with it one of Britain’s finest musical treasures.
Still more a backhanded compliment was the fact that “She’s the One”, a song Karl wrote for a film of the same name became the shining hit of Williams’ album Escapology.

 Music : Dumbing Up   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Karl Wallinger is the man to contact if you misplace your Beatles 'Blue album' and need a quick '60s-like adult-pop fix.
"Dumbing Up" starts off badly with what may be Karl Wallinger's worst recording, the annoying faux hip-hop "Here Comes the Future." Although the rest of the album is much more listenable, it seems as though Wallinger is running out of new ideas.
Why this cd has not been released in the US is another example of American record companies witholding the good stuff from the cd buying public in favor of fluffy pop/rap stars (?) that are all advertising image over musical quality.

 World Party
Though Wallinger joked that he wished he had formed the group with somebody else - anybody else - so that they could handle the interviews for him, he said he decided to go solo because he is a difficult person to please.
While it would've been logical for the 29-year-old musician to put his own moniker on the record cover, he chose to go by a group's name.
Though he's not a household name, Wallinger said he has dealt with fans who've asked for autographs and "chatted me up about being a pop star." He said he doesn't take any of this too seriously because longevity in the business is only as long as the success of the next record.

 PRIVATE REVOLUTION
arl Wallinger’s World Party initially seemed destined for great things, one of a handful of neo-psychedelic bands who successfully transplanted their quasi-hippie hearts into the modern environment of synthesizers and studio wizardry (add Tears For Fears here too).
Wallinger looked like a cross between Bob Dylan and John Lennon, sounded like Mick Jagger, and wrote moving songs that felt doomed despite their pretense of optimism.
If the sentiment behind the songs sounds outre today, it did when it was released too, which is what pop preserved in slightly psychedelic amber will do.

Despite a four-year hiatus between albums, in which grunge, Brit-pop and electronica defined popular music, the Beatles remain Karl Wallinger's muse.
The beautiful choral rounds of "Interlude" segue into the smashing "Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb" (written after his mother's death) and the lo-fi slant of "Hercules" (an ode to Kurt Cobain).

Karl Wallinger defined the ornate, Beatlesque World Party sound on their debut Private Revolution, and he never strayed from that blueprint over the next decade, even if he augmented it with other '60s and '70s pop flourishes.
