Paul Haig - S/T mini LP

Island Records/1983 - features Bernie Worrell on keys and Anton Fier on drums. has a minor flair of Ministry 'with sympathy', in that the dance beats sound canned, 'whipped' and super produced. the voice of paul haig is forced and monotone, but overall its mediocre but pleasant synth rock without any unusual twist turns that would classify it as pre-industrial or anything other than fluff new wave. paul haig is the front man of Josef K. this is the mini LP with 5 songs from the first solo album after he split from the Scottish band. Produced by Alex Sadkin, who also worked with Duran Duran and Thompson Twins. The cover has a cheesy gay sailor look, as Haig stands there in his Gopher from Love Boat suit. Price was 1-/value was similar/overall grade is C+/not worth another listen/nothing to mention in terms of a great find/nothing to run from either.
