about

'Rhythm of Life' is the debut solo album by Paul Haig, the enigmatic pop moodist who first made his name with Postcard label art-punk legends Josef K.

Originally released in November 1983, RoL was recorded in New York and London by renowned producer Alex Sadkin. A collection of nine polished club-pop tracks, the sessions featured a stellar case of guest musicians including Bernie Worrell (Parliament/Funkadelic), Jack Waldman (Robert Palmer), Anton Fier (Feelies/Golden Palominos) and Tom Bailey (Thompson Twins).

The album spawned no less than four singles: Heaven Sent, Justice, Never Give Up and Blue For You. Other standout tracks include Adoration, originally performed while Haig was still in Josef K.

The five bonus tracks are taken from the 1984 mini-album 'New York Remix' (TWI 240), being extended dance remixes by Big Apple DJ Bruce Forest.

"Since Josef K split Haig has pursued several lines, but this northern maverick is still well on the case. In the World maps out melancholy better than anybody this side of New Order, and Justice still remains his greatest solo shot" (NME, 1984)

"The turn of the Eighties ought naturally to have been the urbane Mr Haig's time. He was the discerning pop practitioner, playfully serious, ironically intense, equally at home discussing books or films as he was his music" (Melody Maker, 1989)
