![]() Coming 23 Feb: a fantastic 6CD box set covering the making of the classic album This Is The Sea, with 95 tracks (64 previously unreleased) - demos, outtakes, live, TV & radio sessions, unheard songs PLUS an incredible photo-illustrated 220-page hardcover book by Mike Scott about the creation of the album. ![]() All of us at the Waterboys send our condolences to Karl's family.ฤก985: HOW THE WATERBOYS MADE THIS IS THE SEA AND SAW THE WHOLE OF THE MOON. You are one of the finest musicians I've ever known". Mike Scott posted on Twitter: "Travel on well, my old friend. Karl went on to lead World Party through many albums and successes and composed the smash hit She's The One, made famous by Robbie Williams. He also co-wrote Don't Bang The Drum and played unique synth bass on half the This Is The Sea album, and the demos he and Mike recorded at Karl's home studio, Seaview, were integral to the development of the band's sound during that era. Among his great Waterboy moments were the synthesisers on The Whole Of The Moon, piano on This Is The Sea itself and incredible hammond organ on Rags and Beverly Penn. He made many powerful contributions to the band during his membership, many of which are included and described in the recent 1985 box set and book. Karl was an integral part of The Waterboys from 1983 to the end of 1985, and was one of the original touring line-up. We do not yet know the cause of death, only that it was announced by a press release from Karl's team. We are sorry to relay the news of the passing over of Karl Wallinger, 1980s Waterboys member and long-time leader of his own band World Party, who died on Sunday March 10th.
