Patrick Cowley is pioneer of mastering the layer of electronic sounds over dance rhythms. It may have been Giorgio Moroder’ s creation of “I Feel Love” which evoked Cowley’s journey to find the center of the disco beat through swirling effects. In 1981 his project, “Megatron Man” was a turning point for electronic dance music and disco music in general. Included in this package is a cover of the theme from the1958 television show “Sea Hunt”. The composition by David Rose is disco-fied and given several new levels of mystique as Cowley brings on Carol McMackin, Jo-Carol Block and Lauren Carter (Jo-Lo) to create a haunting vocal that emulates the wailing of the goddess of the sea. The disco version also integrates an electronic castanet sound giving it a rather interesting fusion.
I have taken the album version of Patrick Cowley’s “Sea Hunt” and reworked the percussion and basslines for this new ReStructure Mix. A new arrangement in segments is created and a cameo from Mr. Lloyd Bridges added.
