School Daze
“Sex was the thematic preoccupation of producer Patrick Cowley, reflecting the strong connection between disco and gay bathhouses in late-70s San Francisco. Fittingly, the first concrete attempt to canonise Cowley as an electronic music auteur is a compilation of his soundtrack work for gay pornographic films.”
Muscle Up
“San Francisco’s Patrick Cowley produced left-of-center disco classics for Sylvester and others and pioneered the uptempo disco variant hi-NRG. He also composed all-synth soundtracks for gay porn films, which are collected here. Even with their primitive, glitchy programming, these synth pieces are supremely sultry, reveling in freedoms long denied.”
Candida Cosmica
“The latest unearthed work from San Francisco disco innovator Patrick Cowley is a woozy, fascinating synth experiment with Candida Royalle, the feminist porn director and actress.”
