Reviews:

"Since Josef K split Haig has pursued several lines, but this northern maverick is still well on the case. In the World maps out melancholy better than anybody this side of New Order, and Justice still remains his greatest solo shot" (NME, 1984)

"The turn of the Eighties ought naturally to have been the urbane Mr Haig's time. He was the discerning pop practitioner, playfully serious, ironically intense, equally at home discussing books or films as he was his music" (Melody Maker, 1989)

"If you're looking to find some synthpop you may have missed back in the day this is a good place to start, although this album isn't quite as infectious as some huge Eighties staples like Erasure, New Order and Depeche Mode" (Amazon)
