paul haig: at twilight

At Twilight is a compilation of picked tracks recorded for Crepuscule by iconic Scottish singer-songwriter Paul Haig, who first made his name as the frontman of legendary Postcard Records guitar slingers Josef K. Between 1982 and 1991 Paul Haig recorded a string of polished dance-pop singles for the label, including singles Justice, Heaven Sent, Big Blue World and Love Eternal, along with parent albums Rhythm of Life, Warp of Pure Fun and Coincidence Vs Fate. The various producers and collaborators featured on this ‘best of’ selection include Alan Rankine, Cabaret Voltaire, Bernard Sumner, Mantronik, Lil Louis, Alex Sadkin and Man Parrish. Disc 1 collects together stand-out singles and album tracks from Paul’s decade at Twilight. Disc 2 includes all nine tracks from his lost second studio album from 1984, recorded with Alan Rankine of The Associates, but never before released in complete form. “It was meant to be more eclectic than the first,” explains Paul today, “although it didn’t necessarily turn out that way. Still, I never consciously tried to write hit records. I think you’d lose all credibility if you thought that way.” Cover portrait by Charles Van Hoorick. Booklet includes archive images and track by track commentary by Paul Haig.
