Customer Reviews:

Karl's neo-psychedelic masterpiece.......2007-05-25

Is this album is at the mercy of the seven deadly reviews? I hope not - it's one of my favorites... You might fault it for its many shameless 60's rock references, and its preach-it-brother tone might not be your cup of tea, but the songs are alternately clever and poignant, and evokes a post-punk angry-young-man-grows-up-and-smells-the-flowers vibe that this reviewer finds irresistable.

Not Everything from the Eighties Sucked.......2007-01-10

I always loved this album, since it came out way back when CD's were just beginning to replace the beloved vinyl LP. The album, happily, has held up very well. My favorites are the excellent "Ship of Fools", still applicable today. The haunting "All Come True". A pretty good remake of Dylan's "All I Really Want To Do". And the superb final track, a scathing piece of introspection "It's All Mine". Karl Wallinger was/is a good lyricist, in same vein as Dylan/U2/Waterboys. Musically he was fairly experimental on this, going from the straight ahead rock of "Ship Of Fools" to other tracks in a more Prince like musical feel. Highly enjoyable.

Make Private Revolution Public... Tell Your Friends About World Party.......2006-11-04

This was World Party's debut, and featured their almost-hit "Ship Of Fools," which deserved to be a bigger deal, and I believe is the band's only charting single in the US. No matter... there are some other great songs on this rock tinged with new wave album, including World Party, Private Revolution and The Little Man Within. Karl Wallinger left The Waterboys to do his own thing, World Party, and this first release certainly set the bar high. Of course, longtime fans know that World Party completely delivered with their next album, Goodbye Jumbo, which is a true classic rock record that anyone calling him/herself an enthusiast should have.

Didn't I Hear This Before ?? Contemporary Playback.........2006-07-20

This multi instrumentalist artist left The Scottish Mott The Hoopleish Van Morrison type of band,The Waterboys, to be on his own for a Utopian dream of rock and roll idyllic passion, and with this really fine album, Karl was able to fuse 1960's psychedelia's finest from The Beatles,bluesy Dylan, strong hint of Mick Jagger's singing and posturing to the dynamic LA hipsters of that day, The Doors, and Arthur Lee's Love,fast forward to incorporate The melodrama and bittersweet sophistication of Echo and The Bunnymen with a touch of funk and Beach Boys harmonies rolled in with a gloss of sincere ruminations on peace and love in the vein of Timothy Leary and this sprighty synthesized often happy wash of sound is World Party.The funny thing is that despite the collective unconscious at work here, the whole CD plays well and rocks and serves as a reminder of all those great trends within music. The whole thing clicks and still manages to sound ORIGINAL coming from a One Man Band..waiting to hear the remastered version,the original CD sounds fine akin in spirit to the studio wizadry of a Prince, the self absorbed classic of Paul McCartney's 1st album, and the mystical solo greatness of Pete Townsend's, Who Came First.
Private Revolution may be a solo effort but it sounds like a band.

Customer Reviews:

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-03-25

I have always admired the nonchalant and somewhat dry humor of Noel Coward lyrics, not to mention the interesting twists and turns that his music often takes, I admire Ian Bostridge for attempting his songs and doing a "bang-up" job of it! A quote from Ian Bostridge prior to making this recording:"My first concern while contemplating a disc of Noel Corward songs was finding a voice for them,,,,,,We need to remember that, in Coward, we have not only a formidable playwright and screenwriter, but also the English equivalent of Irving Berlin or Cole Porter". After I heard this from Bostridge (on an interview on ABC) I began to appreciate the songs much more than previously.There is much philosophising going on as in "I Travel Alone" and some are quite humorous as in "Mad Dogs and Englishmen". One has to listen more than once to get it all, but it's worth the time. And I definately think that Ian found the voice to sing them.Do I prefer Bostridge singing classical??Of course!!!!!But I still enjoy a break now and then and I'll take this disc for that reason.

Mad dogs and an Englishman called Ian .......2005-09-02

I must say that I approached this album as a fan of Ian rather than Noel Coward (and admittedly still don't really have a good idea of who the man is). So in terms of Ian's singing, I like it a lot. He has a wonderfully dextrous voice and a clear tone, complemented by Jeffrey Tate on the piano and the soprano Sophie Daneman for several numbers.

Generally I find myself unable to appreciate the work of classical singers who do crossover albums, but Ian is an exception. It has been said elsewhere that he may lack a robustness in his voice, but here in fact, one would not wish for an overpowering tenor. He isn't at all overblown, unlike many other singers in crossovers. The lightness of his voice lends a kind of intimacy to these recordings, as if he were singing in a café or an at-home musical evening.

The material is, of course, a departure from Schubert, &c., but he handles it well. However, I do think that he has a better emotional feel for the 19th century German romanticists and the 20th century British classical composers (i.e. Britten). This recording is pleasant but it seems to me to lack the emotional depth of Ian's Schumann in particular - a perceived deficiency that might lie with the composer Coward rather than the performer.

I like to listen to this CD when I want to listen to Ian sing, but am not in the mood for his more serious/depressing recordings (a la Schubert & Britten). The lyrics are pretty inane, the same goes for the songs themselves - melodically speaking - but Ian makes them special. So four stars.

Coward the Composer, Quite Charming without the Camp.......2002-11-18

I love this CD. I have a collection of Noel Coward performing his major songs, and I found it entertaining, but frankly I was never much drawn to it after the initial novelty wore off. I never really appreciated Coward as a composer because his campy persona and limited vocal talents got in the way. I bought this CD as a gift for a big Coward fan, and I am ashamed that I have not yet given it to him because I enjoy it so much. Bostridge is a really fine tenor. The beauty and subtlety of his voice bring out the beauty of Coward's melodies and the wit of his lyrics without overwhelming them with a heavy and mannered "classical" style, which is the bane of most such "crossover" CDs. The CD is also beautifully recorded. Outstanding songs include "I Travel Alone," "Parisian Pierrot," "World Weary," and "A Room with a View." Bostridge also has just the right touch with the goofier songs like "Mad Dogs and Englishmen," "Something to do with Spring," and "Any Little Fish." I highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys witty cabaret songs in general and Coward in particular. It really did give me a new and greater appreciation of Coward's considerable talents as a composer.

COWARD'S THEATRE SONGS.......2002-09-30

Sometimes musical artists should NOT attempt cross-over albums. I am a huge fan of Jessye Norman, Leontyne Price and Joan Sutherland, but their ventures into "popular" music were, at best, misguided and, at worst, heavy-handed and pretentious. Although Ian Bostridge does not embarrass himself, there is no question that he should stick to more "serious" music and leave musical comedy to other singers.

The theatre songs of Noel Coward take a very different kind of approach than Bostridge gives them. They need an actor who happens to be singing. Except for a very few of the songs on this CD (written by Coward for operettas instead of musical comedies) Bostridge's approach is absolutely without any character. All of these numbers are impeccably sung by Bostridge, but none of them are ever really acted. Coward's songs MUST be acted whether they were written in a comic or sentimental vein. The result is another misfired cross-over album in what otherwise is a splendid career.

Underrated but great........2007-01-10

"I Want To Thank You" ,is a classic ballad that shall forever be among Freddie's best performances. No filler material here--just great classy and soulful ballads from a great crooner.

Good album even he moved to a different label!.......2004-09-28

This is one of my favorite post-Capitol era albums that Freddie Jackson did. I like Rub Up Against YOu, Private Party, Thank You and the midtempo ballads that dominate this effort. Freddie must have been influenced by R. Kelly, himself a hit maker at the time with the bump and grind ballads, for this album. Very soulful vocally too.

No School, like Old School.......2001-08-30

In a time where young go to the clubs and parties to see to see what someone else is wearing or to get wasted, its good to know that music such as Freddie Jackson's can still be had. There is still nothing like you and your sigificant other, soft lights, two people sharing the moment with soft, slow, soulful music by artist like Freddie Jackson.
