Patrick Cowley and Paul Parker together in 1982 is a landmark in disco history. Cowley's trippy synthetic arrangements were a part of the late 70's with studio bands like Fever ("Beat Of The Night") and also many of Sylvester's hit dance tracks (ex. "Dance (Disco Heat)" and "Stars") - it was the blood flowing through the veins of early high energy disco.
Paul Parker has continued to bring his wonderful vocals throughout the early period of high energy from the San Francisco disco movement of the 80's to present. His accomplishments only outline his dedication to the craft and his own heart.
"Pushin' Too Hard" is a rock classic recorded by The Seeds in 1966 - Paul does a excellent job following the energy of Cowley's keyboard magic and emphasizes the desperation well.
I have ReStructured this special B-side from the original 12" (was not available on Paul's first LP) and added a familiar riff and also some percussion, breakdowns and took advantage of that wonderful percussion loop ala Cowley!
