Petula Clark - Downtown (Adaptiv 2023 Remix)

Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem have teamed up to release “Catholic”, the lost opus of disco pioneer Patrick Cowley and Indoor Life vocalist Jorge Socarras. Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the cannon of disco music, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music coined "The San Francisco Sound." Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco at the age of 21. He studied at the City College of San Francisco and met Jorge Socarras in 1973 through mutual friends. The duo’s first collaboration was a ten-minute trance like piece that Cowley composed for a performance piece by Socarras in 1975. Patrick, who played drums, guitar and keyboards, provided the perfect match for Jorge’s vocal talents. Between 1975 and 1977 they recorded an album’s worth of material before Socarras moved to London and Cowley started playing synthesizers for Sylvester. Upon Jorge’s return to San Francisco in 1979, the duo would re-record some of the “Catholic” songs with Patrick’s newly accumulated equipment. Meanwhile, Socarras met the musicians with whom he would form Indoor Life, and in 1980 Patrick co-produced their first album before the band relocated to New York in 1981. The “Catholic” album was offered to San Francisco’s Megatone Records who passed on it. Fast forward to 2007 when Honey Soundsystem was contacted by John Hedges, former co-owner of Megatone Records. Hedges’ was moving to Palm Springs and invited the crew over to his basement to collect over 2,000 records from his collection. Among the archives were three moldy boxes of quarter inch reel to reel tapes featuring unreleased music by Cowley, including the “Catholic” material. The reel was passed on to Stefan Goldmann of Macro Recordings in Berlin who tracked down Jorge Socarras to clear the rights, and released the album on CD in 2009. 

“Catholic” is a genre-bending concept album that ranges from minimalistic proto-techno to synth-driven post-punk, pre-dating the dance punk acts LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture by almost 30 years.  It shows a much broader range than any Cowley or Socarras material available and gives a totally new perspective to one of the most inspiring eras in music history. Influenced by Tomita, Wendy Carlos, the Velvet Underground and Roxy Music, “Catholic” fills in the gaps between these artists and preempts bands like Talking Heads, Units, The Human League or Chris & Cosey.  Patrick forges his unique electronic sound from his collection of synthesizers, modified guitars and self-constructed equipment while Jorge’s vocals go from hypnotic to camp, singing about gay love juju and tackling classics by Donovan and Stoller & Leiber.  


Featuring over 80 minutes of music, never before released on vinyl, this compilation contains two bonus tracks not on the CD. The tapes were meticulously restored by mastering guru Rashad Becker at D+M, in Berlin, then remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA.  The vinyl comes housed in a glossy dual pocket gatefold featuring the intended album cover from the original “Catholic” photo shoot in 1979 plus original hand-lettering by Arch Connelly aka A. Style for the first 45rpm single that never was. Inside the gatefold sleeve contains lyrics and an essay from Jorge Socarras. For the 32nd anniversary of Patrick's death, Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem present a glimpse into the innovative minds of two geniuses. These recordings shine a new light on the experimental side of a disco legend who was taken too soon. All proceeds from “Catholic” will be donated to the San Francisco AIDS Housing Alliance.

Lời/Lyrics:

Hỡi ôi nàng ngây ngốc sao 
Lắng tai nghe Barret này nào 
Đừng chần chừ chi nữa mau đến đây nào
Không chút nghi ngờ trao hết mơ mộng 
Đến thằng đó! Ôi sao đắng lòng
Rồi nó sẽ không yêu thương nàng là thôi xong! 

Chớ 
Chưa hay chưa quen mà yêu nhầm người sai 
Chưa yêu đương lâu mà mơ về ngày mai 

Nàng không nên tin người nhanh quá 
Khéo một ngày nay mai ấy mà 
Trong lòng buồn bực khi thấy tên đó la cà 
Nó hay điêu lừa luôn dối gian 
Chẳng đẹp đôi bên nàng
Nó không thanh cao hay tốt bụng bằng ta đâu

Nó 
Ngu si kiêu căng dù không bằng được ai 
(Thằng đó đó. Vớ vẩn!) 
Luôn luôn khoe khoang làm cho mình rợn tai 

Này nàng chớ mau đi mất 
Ngó chút xung quanh đi nào 
Thấy được một người tài sắc đang đứng đây này! 
Có bao nhiêu người trót mê say 
Khi trông thấy đôi tay này đấy 
Nếu nàng không hay biết (thì) nghe đây là ta đây

Ối 
Ta không hay khoe rằng ta thật đẹp trai 
Nhưng nghe bên tai là bao lời ngợi ca

Nàng nên quên ngay hôn ước
Chứ đừng chờ lâu không muộn
Khi mà nàng già đi héo hon có ai thèm?
Ta nói là vì nàng thôi
Chớ để cho duyên mình lạc trôi
Này nàng đừng suy tư thêm nhiều, nàng lại đây

Trái
Tim ta nay đang đập nhanh vì nàng thôi (chỉ vì nàng thôi)
Lại đây nghe con tim ta ca câu tình mình sục sôi
    
Yêu ta nghe ta để cho đời đẹp tươi
Không nghe không yêu thì sau này buồn đau

Buông tay ta ư nàng đang làm gì đây?
Không nghe theo ta là sai lầm nàng ơi!

Xem ra cô em lại kiêu kì vậy sao (úi giời)
Đâu xinh hơn ai mà lên mặt làm cao

(Đến)
Ngay đây bên ta mình vui vầy cùng nhau
Chung tay vun xây một gia đình thật to
