Tom Frederikse for FXU Management " Shoot Me with Your Love " Released: 26 June 1995 "Party Up the World" Released: 28 August 1995 "The Power (Of All the Love In the World)" Released: 30 October 1995 World is the second studio album by Northern Irish synthpop / dance band D:Ream , released in 1995. It was to be the band's final studio release before their disbanding in 1997, and their re-forming in the late 2000s. World was published by Magnet Records label, distributed by Warner Music major, and managed by FXU Management (some songs being published by EMI Publishing and Pumphouse Songs Inc.), and reached number five in the UK Albums Chart . The album was mostly written, arranged, played and produced by lead singer Peter Cunnah , with the collaboration of some other musicians and vocalists. In particular, the album features TJ Davis on background vocals on all tracks (besides co- lead vocals on "The Power (Of All the Love in the World)"), as well as Simon Ellis and Nick Beggs from Ellis, Beggs & Howard . Ellis plays additional keyboards on "You've Saved My World" and "Heart of Gold", while Beggs plays bass guitar and chapman stick on "Hold Me Now". Three singles were taken from the album; " Shoot Me with Your Love " (UK No. 7), "Party Up the World" (UK No. 20) and "The Power (Of All the Love in the World)" (UK No. 40). A third studio album ( Heap of Faith ) was recorded but never released, being replaced by the group's first greatest hits album, The Best of D:Ream in 1997. Critical reception Helen Lamont from Smash Hits wrote, "D:Ream are one of the few bands who can cross that dance/pop divide convincingly. They can please the pop kids with tunes like ' Shoot Me with Your Love ' and 'Party Up the World', and the dance fanatics with most of the other stuff on the album, especially 'Power', which is fantastic. To be critical for a moment, the only thing that's missing from this collection is a very simple, very sweet melody — like 'Star' from the first LP . We need a great, forceful ballad where Peter's voice gets the chance to shine through. D:Ream unplugged? Come on lad — let's have it." [ 4 ] All tracks written by Peter Cunnah , except where noted.
