{"product_id":"from-behind","title":"From Behind","description":"\u003cp\u003eCybernetic disco maestro \u003cstrong\u003ePatrick Cowley\u003c\/strong\u003e returns to Dark Entries with \u003cem\u003eFrom Behind\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 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 \u003cem\u003eSchool Daze\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMuscle Up\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAfternooners\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Behind\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA rough draft of Loverde’s “Iko Iko” 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’ “20th Century Fox” has Paul Parker on vocals, ironically twisting the original’s overt heterosexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVia Cowley’s vocoder, The Who’s “Shakin’ All Over” is transformed into a haunting meditation on the loss of bodily autonomy that AIDS inflicts, while the Moody Blues’ “Ride My See Saw” appears in instrumental, amped up and synthesized for dancefloor impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re also graced with instrumental demo versions of The Seeds’ “Pushin’ Too Hard” and The Electric Prunes’ “Too Much To Dream (Last Night),” which later appeared on Paul Parker releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThings close out with a swinging version of the Four Tops’ Motown classic “Baby I Need Your Loving”, Cowley later reimagined for R\u0026amp;B artist Carl Carlton. The record comes housed in a sleeve designed by Gwenaël Rattke and includes an insert with photos and liner notes written by Louis Niebur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn celebration of what would have been Cowley’s 74th birthday, \u003cem\u003eFrom Behind\u003c\/em\u003e gives us yet another glimpse into Cowley’s world: iconic, erotic, and more than a little cheeky.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Entries","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50468165583179,"sku":"2224468","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ff6ff52b-5dc0-bbaf-60dd-10f5ba96a71f_a539288c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727345670","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/from-behind","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
