School Daze is also available to purchase digitally on Amazon and iTunes and to stream on Spotify. All proceeds for the sale of the double LP go to Project Open Hand and the AIDS Housing Alliance. This is my favorite compilation of any sort in recent memory, so you’ll find it highly recommended from me.Ĭowley is already known well for his work in the disco scene, working with Sylvester (see also “Do You Wanna Funk”), and Hi-NRG (“Menergy”) and was unfortunately an early casualty of AIDS, passing in 1982. Some of them are so out there, reminiscent of Kraftwerk or BBC Radiophonic Workshop, or traversing new territories altogether, blipping and bopping into the future. If you are someone who has ever joked about the quality of porn soundtrack music, well, here is something that will give you hope to the contrary: all tracks here are Cowley’s collected gay porn soundtrack compositions. I had to know what this fantastic music was, this swirling concoction of electronic noise and melody.
I first heard Patrick Cowley in the library of the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco, of course.
