| | Description: | "Dark Entries again shines a spotlight on bathhouse disco don Patrick Cowley with a newly remastered release of Kickin' In. Although Cowley tragically passed from AIDS-related illness in 1982, he left an extensive archive of unreleased tapes, many of which Dark Entries has had the honor of releasing. While working as a lighting technician at The City, SF's disco cabaret, Cowley saw rising star Frank Loverde perform. Cowley asked Loverde to contribute vocals to some material in progress, and Frank, Linda Imperial, and Peggy Gibbons joined Cowley in the studio. The resulting songs included ''Kickin' In,'' a 9-minute cybernetic disco stormer that taps into the essence of Cowley's hi-NRG sound: equal parts spaced out and zoned in on the dancefloor. In May 1978 Cowley joined Loverde on stage at The City to perform ''Kickin' In'' as they opened for disco diva Sylvester.
''Kickin' In'' 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 due to the discovery of the original multi-track recordings of ''Kickin' In,'' allowing for a fresh mixdown by Jim Hopkins as well as the creation of a new instrumental version. Also included are two impeccably sleazy Cowley jams recorded in 1980, ''Thief of Love'' and ''Make It Come Loose.'' Cowley narrates excerpts from his erotic journals on these raunchy slow-burners, capturing the vibe of SF's leather bars and backrooms. ''Thief of Love'' features frequent Cowley collaborator Paul Parker on background vocals. This reissue of Kickin' In includes features an illustration by Gwenael Rattke that originally appeared Cowley's erotic journal, Mechanical Fantasy Box, as well as a postcard with lyrics.
''Patrick parted the veil and entered a dark world of forbidden vices, wondrous musical panoramas and bold, strident, hopeful possibilities. Patrick brought the future to us and laid it at our feet.''-David Diebold, - POSTCARD(S)Dark Entries again shines a spotlight on bathhouse disco don Patrick Cowley with a newly remastered release of Kickin' In.
