Patrick Cowley - Hard Ware - VINYL LP
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: Cybernetic disco maestro Patrick Cowley graces Dark Entries once again with Hard Ware, an LP of far-out funk and synthpop celebrating what would have been Cowley's 75th birthday. Best known for his chart-topping disco anthems, Cowley left us with an incredible body of work before his tragic death in 1982 due to AIDS-related illness. Since 2009, Dark Entries has been working with Cowley's friends and family to uncover the singular artist's lesser-known sides, including his soundtracks for gay pornographic films, which the tag chronicled on compilation albums School Daze, Muscle Up, and Afternooners. Hard Ware presents the closing chapter in a trilogy of unreleased Cowley dancefloor bangers that began with 2022's heavy-hitting Male Box and was continued with the soul and garage-inflected From Behind in 2024. The most expansive in said trilogy, Hard Ware delivers ten tracks of pure, uncut Cowley sultry, psychedelic, sarcastic, and just a bit sleazy. Cowley devotees will delight in InchTech-No,Inch a sparse instrumental demo version of his epically dystopian InchTech-No-Logical World.Inch You could soundtrack your next aerobics session with cheeky numbers like InchPajama Party MassacreInch or InchShake It Up,Inch both of which feature Cowley himself on vocals. The frenetic InchBig Ass in MotionInch is built around samples from Rudy Ray Moore and The Madam's infamous InchSensuous Black Woman,Inch an X-rated comedy record that would later feature in classic booty house records. Mid-tempo cosmic groovers are well-represented with jams like InchHellfireInch and InchMegablue,Inch which perfectly capture Cowley's bathhouse-in-outerspace sensibilities. No collection of Cowley's work would be complete without an interstellar floor-filler, and we've got quite a few here, like InchJungle Jump,Inch which pits whirling beats with dub-laced swirls of synth, or InchSpellbinding Love

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
