Dedicated To Patrick

"What can I say about this CD except to quote from the cover.

"Twelve of Patrick Cowley's best 12 inchers, all new remixes and re-edited full length versions."

From the liner notes; "Sequenced, re-edited, and get a little remix by Brad Hinkle & Les Massengale of Ultimix Records, cuts 1,2&3 remixed by Marty Blecman & Ken Kessie."



There is a nice, brief summary of Patrick's life from the President of Megatone Records, Marty Blecman. It finishes with;

"His death shocked the world and many still mourn his loss. He was my best friend, business partner in Megatone, and I loved him very much. It is with great Honor that I dedicate this album to Patrick, his fans, everyone living with A.I.D.S, to the fourty thousand we have lost, and especially to his fantastic family and loving father, Mr. Kenneth Cowley."



So, with a testament to Patrick like that they certainly wouldn't want to muck about too much with his work. The tracks run continuously one into the other in groups of two or three. I found that a little unsettling on first listening as I thought it was going to be a medley (I hate medleys) but once used to it I think the album is a must. The sound is great.
