Paul
Parker is a talent who emerged during a disco revival in the early 80s
in San Francisco. With artists like Sylvester who brought the city to
the disco world map around the world even during a time when disco music
slowly lessoned in the market place and became an underground art once
again. Paul worked closely with producer and artist Patrick Cowley
during the late 70s and early 80s during the electronic high energy
movement when dance music was overhauled and repackaged for a new
period. “Time After Time” is a cover of Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 ballad with a
high energy focus. Produced by high energy producer Ian Anthony
Stephens who made the 80s high energy movement works with many of his
productions by Marsha Raven, The Flirtations and Hazell Dean. This cover
was a nice touch for dance floors to remember disco/dance history of
years prior.
I
have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental to recreate a fantasy-form of
ReStructure Mix with Paul’s wonder vocal and Ian’s simple yet effective
production. It is laid out with looping and more vocals from the
original. Grab a fan and stand on the sidelines and you may understand
how high energy became beautiful and energetic.
