Yes. He did "New Day Rising."
He also helped the Comsat Angels get a record deal in the mid '80s and after that they put out Chasing Shadows, which was by far their best record since Fiction 4 years earlier (that was their 3rd Lp; their 1st 3 Lps are post-punk classics on par with early Cure, The Chameleons, The Sound et al.). I think that on this board, other than myself only Midge will care about that part, though.
I can't say I have ever cared for his music (what I've heard of it), but I credit him with having good taste.
