Though Cowley tragically passed in 1982 from an AIDS-related illness, he left behind an extensive archive of unreleased tapes, many of which Dark Entries has been honored to release. While working as the lighting technician at The City, San Francisco's disco cabaret, Cowley watched rising star Frank Loverde perform. Cowley asked Loverde to contribute vocals on some developing tracks, and Frank, Linda Imperial, and Peggy Gibbons joined Cowley in the studio. The resulting songs included \u003cem\u003eKickin' In\u003c\/em\u003e, a 9-minute cybernetic disco track that captures the essence of Cowley's hi-NRG sound: a mix of spacey atmospherics and total dance floor focus. In May 1978, Cowley joined Loverde on stage at The City to perform \u003cem\u003eKickin' In\u003c\/em\u003e as they opened for disco diva Sylvester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKickin' In\u003c\/em\u003e was initially released in 2015 via Honey Soundsystem, who found the tapes in the basement of Megatone Records owner John Hedges. This newly remastered version was made possible by the discovery of the original multi-track recordings of \u003cem\u003eKickin' In\u003c\/em\u003e, allowing for a new mix by Jim Hopkins as well as the creation of an instrumental version. Also included are two Cowley tracks recorded in 1980, “Thief of Love” and “Make It Come Loose.” Cowley narrates excerpts from his erotic journals over these simmering, mid-tempo pieces, capturing the mood of San Francisco’s leather bars and backrooms. “Thief of Love” includes backing vocals from Paul Parker. This reissue of \u003cem\u003eKickin' In\u003c\/em\u003e includes artwork by Gwenaël Rattke that originally appeared in Cowley's erotic journal, \u003cem\u003eMechanical Fantasy Box\u003c\/em\u003e, plus a postcard with lyrics. “Patrick pushed the veil back and stepped into a dark world of forbidden vices, wondrous musical vistas, and daring, determined, hopeful possibilities. Patrick brought us the future and laid it at our feet.” – David Diebold, \u003cem\u003eTribal Rites\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenampa Record Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45376943718563,"sku":"","price":500.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/1239\/2867\/files\/image_fbc9ba70-d98b-4822-8cb7-1f30a3d41e33.jpg?v=1730760313","url":"https:\/\/tenampa.mx\/en\/products\/patrick-cowley-kickin-in-2024-remaster-dark-entries-1","provider":"Tenampa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
