i'd prefer a catheter

I've not been convinced Paul Haig's solo career is really worth investigating in depth. Someone made me a comp. of his career (at least, the non-instrumental type stuff) and it just didn't move me. I liked The Only Truth single when it came out, but it seems to have lost something over time.

He'd probably never be up for it but I would be delighted if Josef K ever reformed.

This music sounds exactly what you would expect nowadays from Mr. Josef K himself. In other words, it's pretty sweet. Very good on him and his friends, and thank you Ned for sharing that link.

Anyone care to suggest a Best Of Paul Haig's solo work?

i have only heard rhythm of life, but it's pretty good if you can get past the production

read this as "Paul Feig's new band" and got unreasonably excited

read this as "Paul Haggis' new band" and felt sick

"heaven sent" is a really cool linn drum heavy dance pop. think 80s bill nelson crossed with heaven 17. i play it all the time

"running away/back home" is a nice boogie tinged pop song with backing vocals by the girls from antena

if you're expecting more in the vein of josef k then i'd probably avoid

Lots of good stuff sprinkled amongst the singles/LPs, esp if you like that kind of thing.

Running Away cover is classic, b-side Time is great as well.

The Only Truth, Blue For You are both more funky then cheesy.

Party Party (Never Give Up) is a bit more silly but totally infectious.

Chance, which I think is on the flip of Heaven Help You Now is almost Josef K in it's frantic energy and rhythm guitar.

I don't know, I have most of it and I like most of it. I'd have to pull out all the singles to remember which songs I like best. You may as well pick up all the vinyl, it's usually really cheap. I think I have dupes of a few of them.
