About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: 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
