Patrick Joseph Cowley was an American disco and Hi-NRG dance music composer and recording artist. Besides Giorgio Moroder, he is frequently credited with pioneering electronic dance music.

[@HansdeHeer]

Patrick passed away over 40 years ago and his music still sounds as fresh as it was produced yesterday. What a guy. His influence on the development of electronic music can not be overestimated.

[@EmperorSenate]

You could have told me this was released yesterday and I'd believe it. Patrick and Giorgio were way ahead of their time. Musical geniuses.

[@texmex3343]

Cowley and Sylvester the masters of disco RIP

[@amedeoracanati703]

I discovered Patrick's songs in 2020, I am 23 years old and I have a lot to learn yet. Very cool music, keep the good vibes!

[@victimedelamode1]

I'm 27 and discovered his music a few years back. We are part of a new generation to dance with each other to this music, create our own inspired by it and in general have our worlds enriched!

[@jigimon6674]

Todays music is horrible (most of the time), old 90's and 80's tunes remixed with annoying autotune bullshit and almost every song has the same boring melody. Thats why I always listen 80's and 90's tunes.

[@Vit100679]

Незаслуженно забытый мега-электрощик: талантливейший композитор, пионер и основатель стиля Hi-Nrg Disco - Patrick Cowley! Он писал музыку для известного проекта "Sylvester", а также для певца Paul Parker, да и вообще делал отличную красивую музыку!!! Вечная память!!!

[@francochiappino6410]

[@erikavalera1240]

Io sono rimasta affascinata dall’introduzione…. e sono andata subito a cercarmela, anche se l’avevo già sentita e archiviata. Favolosa.

[@JamesCorbettMusic5000]

Absolute tune.. Patrick Cowley is a massive inspiration to my music, and Paul Parkers vocals are great in this

[@BjarneBlom]

Written, arranged and performed by Patrick Cowley, vocals by Paul Parker and production by Cowley and Marty Blecman.
Patrick Cowley was no doubt one of the founding fathers of later Hi-NRG and even most contemporary electronic pop music, along with Giorgio Moroder and Bobby "O".
He left a profound legacy for artists to come, surely Pet Shop Boys will be the first to tell you from where they got their inspiration for their first demos. Also, check out the intro of OMD's Radio Waves.
Cowley developed his keyboard skills from studying synthesizers at college. I think it is clear to hear on the opening theme that he was very capable at programming his synths innovatively and getting the most out of his settings.
This is a really uplifting disco song with a rather bleak message, typical of Cowley's lyrics at that time, when probably he was aware of the rather invasive and intruding HIV symptoms that ultimately led to his unfortunate, untimely death.
This is also an very cathcy tune and I believe it may actually be a hit and receive decent radio play if re-released in 2022.

[@JamesCorbettMusic5000]

It’s great

[@flufycat2748]

Dan Hartmann too!

[@ivanocasadei2268]

Wonderful song. I was twenty-one years old in 1982

[@richardmassuttier2788]

Mi padre tenía un disco LP de Patrick Cowley, esos discos sólo tenían 2 canciones going home y technological world. De ahí nació mi gusto por la música electrónica. 😁

[@ethanmanriquez6583]

A great song, beautiful sounds.

[@tessa9094]

We will never forget you Patrick, a true genius of a disco music scene.

[@rosafiammante5027]

I was introduced to this tune in late 90's early 2000 when I went dancing with my friends on sunday afternoon. Nostalgia 💃

[@ITAMythHunter]

Un grande pioniere e precursore della disco/elettronica. RIP se non fosse orto giovane sarebbe considerato alla pari di Moroder, un'altro immortale!

[@walterbottarelli4457]

Vero ,anche se secondo me Cowley inizialmente si ispirò a lui poi naturalmente proseguendo per la sua strada con un proprio stile e un suo inconfondibile sound

[@gregoryperlini7802]

Essendo praticamente contemporanei credo entrambi si siano influenzato..cowley appunto molto tech e power e moroder piu "passionale " nelle song..mia opinione

[@ottocoperti]

Condivido!! Io in linea con Cowley considero anche Bobby Orlando: in quell'epoca anche le loro produzioni con Sylvester, The Flirts, Divine, ecc. in discoteca erano al top!! A me colpirono subito quei suoni di synth in sequenza e quelle fantastiche batterie elettroniche. E' quasi 40 anni che ho sempre in testa quei suoni.

[@ITAMythHunter]

@@ottocoperti si certo nulla da dire anzi... io però parlavo dell'olimpo e nell' Olimpo non ci possono stare tutti;)
Ah comunque the Flirts e Bobby o sono la stessa cosa ;) erano dei suoi tanti progetti musicali.

[@andreamailloli4570]

Condivido in pieno quanto da voi menzionato e non mi sbaglio nel definire il grande Patrick un vero "Geniaccio del settore" , approfitto inoltre per lasciare traccia di un saluto al Grande Giorgio Moroder che ho conosciuto in Val Gardena anni fa col quale presi un buon caffè e mi ricordo mi raccontó tante belle cose del mondo della Dance e di tanti artisti per i quali aveva scritto pezzi memorabili. Evviva la musica di quegli anni ....
La Nostra Musica !!! 💓

Lyrics:
Your observable performance
Shows a flaw somewhere
And you'd like to get away
From that video stare
Now your schedule slipped
And the budget's dipped
And you can't fall asleep at night
If production drops
If your sector flops
You'll be meeting Doctor Terminus
Tech-no-logical world
Tech-no-logical world
Mankind splendor spread out far and wide
But the flags of doom unfurled
On tech-no-logical world
On tech-no-logical world
Tech-no-logical world
Tech-no-logical world
Automatic satisfaction guaranteed
But the flags of doom unfurled
On tech-no-logical world
On tech-no-logical world
Now production's status quo
Shows a breakdown scare
Dr. Terminus will know
Down to the last man
All our needs fulfilled
All our passion killed
Tell me what will become of us
If you show them a sign that you know your own mind
You'll be meeting Doctor Terminus
Tech-no-logical world
Tech-no-logical world
Automatic satisfaction guaranteed
But the flags of doom unfurled
On tech-no-logical world
On tech-no-logical world
Your observable performance
Shows a flaw somewhere
And you'd like to get away
From that video stare
Now your schedule slipped
And the budget's dipped
And you can't fall asleep at night
If production drops
If your sector flops
You'll be meeting Doctor Terminus
Tech-no-logical world
Tech-no-logical world
Communication network everywhere
But the flags of doom unfurled
On tech-no-logical world
On tech-no-logical world
Tech-no-logical world
Tech-no-logical world
Mankind splendor spread out far and wide
But the flags of doom unfurled
On tech-no-logical world
On tech-no-logical world
