Paul Haig –Go Out Tonight (Rhythm Of Life).
Go Out Tonight is Paul Haig’s 10th solo album and is a quick follow up to 2007s critically acclaimed Electronic Audience. Opening with Trouble Maker, a funky electro-pop with a crisp bass line he moves on to Stay Mine, which has a very retro 80s feel and harks back to his time in Josef K and, in particular, A Certain Ratio. Shut Down has an industrial feel but this electronica is very, very catchy. Believe is slower, with an exaggerated blue eyed soul vocal and the first single, Hippy Dippy (Pharmaceutically Trippy) is clipped electronica but rhythmic and throbbing at the same time with riffs that Josef K would have been proud of.
Fantasize in an instrumental with Eastern influences whilst Acidic Snowdrops has pounding rhythms and the instrumental Data Retro is full of Jean-Michel Jarre electronics. Scene is slow and atmospheric electronica with a deliberate vocal but the closing track, Gone In A Moment is more upbeat than most on offer and reveals a lighter side to the most serious of Scottish rock stars.
