Freeing himself up from the confines of the disco genre, this compilation sees Cowley delve headfirst into a world of experimental soundscapes, evoking both backstreet sleaze and the cosmos simultaneously. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the hypnotic\/unsettling 'Nightcrawler' and lush\/optimistic 'Mockingbird Dream' through to the proto-techno of 'Primordial Landscape' and musique concrete of 'Pagan Rhythms' it's clear that Cowley's genius wasn't just restricted to the dance floor - and it's a shame that this wasn't recognised on a much larger scale until more than 30 years after his passing.
