Widespread recognition of Patrick Cowley didn’t come until decades after his untimely death from AIDS at the age of 32, but his spirit of decadence lives on in this posthumous collection released in 2017. The songs featured in adult films during the 80’s sound the part– arpeggiated synths spread out over thick drum patterns, with a thumping bass pulling everything closer together. From the steamy “Hot Beach” to the slow and dramatic build of “The Runner”, there’s something here that makes you want to grow a mustache and start sweating on the dance floor.
