Paul Haig is a Scottish songwriter, musician, and singer. Born in 1960, he began his music career in 1979 as the lead vocalist for the Edinburgh post-punk group Josef K.
With his distinctive voice and innovative songwriting style, Haig has made a significant impact on the music industry. His contributions to the post-punk genre have earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
Throughout his career, Haig has continued to evolve as an artist, exploring different musical styles and experimenting with new sounds. His solo work showcases his versatility and creativity, cementing his status as a respected figure in the industry.

originally released on crepuscule in 1985, 'the warp of pure fun' was haig's second solo album, and remains his best known (and biggest selling) long player. glossily produced with former associate alan rankine, it contains no less than four classic singles in 'heaven help you now', 'love eternal', 'big blue world' and 'the only truth', the latter produced by bernard sumner (new order) and donald johnson (a certain ratio). the 7 bonus tracks include a lively version of suicide's biker epic 'ghost rider', on which haig is joined by former josef k cohort malcolm ross, several b-side tracks, and two rare songs which should have reached a wider audience at the time, 'endless song' and 'shining hour'. previously released on cd in japan only, with no bonus tracks, and long deleted, the album has been fully remastered, and the booklet includes detailed sleeve notes.
