About this product

Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem Records have teamed up once more to the final volume of gay porn soundtracks by San Francisco-based musician and producer, Patrick Cowley. One of the most revolutionary and influential figures in the canon of disco, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music, InchThe San Francisco Sound.Inch Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco in 1971 to study at the City College of San Francisco. He founded the Electronic Music Lab at the school, where he would make experimental soundtracks by blending various types of music and adapting them to the synthesizer. By the mid-70's, Patrick's synthesis techniques landed him a job composing and producing songs for disco superstar Sylvester, including hits like InchYou Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)Inch, InchDance Disco HeatInch and InchStars.Inch This helped Patrick obtain more work as a remixer and producer. His 18-minute long remix of Donna Summer's InchI Feel LoveInch and his production work with edgy New Wave band Indoor Life were both of particular note. By 1981, Patrick had released a string of dance 12Inch singles, like InchMenergyInch and InchMegatron ManInch. He also had founded Megatone Records, the tag upon which he released his debut album, InchMenergyInch. Around this time Patrick was hospitalized and diagnosed with an unknown illness that which would later be called AIDS. Throughout 1982, he recorded two more Hi-NRG hits, InchDo You Wanna FunkInch for Sylvester, and InchRight On TargetInch for Paul Parker, as well as a second solo album InchMind WarpInch. On November 12, 1982, he passed away. In 1979 Patrick was contacted by John Coletti, owner of famed gay porn company Fox Studio in Los Angeles. Patrick jumped on this offer and sent reels of his college compositions from the 70s to John in LA. Coletti then used a variable speed oscillator to adjus

Cybernetic disco maestro Patrick Cowley returns to Dark Entries with From Behind, a collection of grooving and ecstatic covers of 60s garage and soul cuts. 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 films on compilation albums School Daze, Muscle Up, and Afternooners. From Behind reveals yet another facet of Cowley's myriad influences; garage and soul. As a tripped-out teenage music freak who arrived in 60's San Francisco, it should come as no surprise that these psychedelic sounds, both heady and visceral, infuse Cowley's oeuvre. Recorded during Cowley's most productive period, '80-'82, these tracks show the master flexing his virtuosity while paying loving tribute to the songs that shaped him. A rough draft of Loverde's InchIko IkoInch contorts the jaunty Dixie Cups classic into a slithering, monstrous bathhouse groover, the song's signature claps draped in cavernous reverb. An unexpected hi-NRG cover of The Doors' Inch20th Century FoxInch has Paul Parker on vocals, ironically twisting the original's overt heterosexuality. Via Cowley's vocoder, The Who's InchShakin' All OverInch is transformed into a haunting meditation on the loss of bodily autonomy that AIDS inflicts, while the Moody Blues' InchRide My See SawInch appears in instrumental, amped up and synthesized for dancefloor impact. We're also graced with instrumental demo versions of The Seeds' InchPushin' Too HardInch and The Electric Prunes' InchToo Much To Dream (Last Night),Inch which later appeared on Paul Parker releases. Things close out with a swinging version of the Four Tops' Motown classic InchBaby I Need Your LovingInch, Cowley late
