This is the second single from the Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras album, Catholic, Oni Ayhun obscured Cowley's "Memory Fails Me" with his trademark darkness and took it to the edge of engineering. "Burn Brighter Flame" is the disco heart of the album, and also included here is a stunning instrumental. Morgan Geist's edit creates a dialog between the vocal and instrumental versions, offering even more variety for the DJ to mix in and out of this great tune.

Macro Recordings announces the release of a full Patrick Cowley album, written and performed in collaboration with Indoor Life vocalist Jorge Socarras, that has never been released. This is NOT a reissue, nor is it material scrapped by the artists -- the original release of this album was delayed for 3 decades due to Cowley's tragic death in 1982. Recorded between 1976 and 1979, Catholic is a genre-bending concept album with a range from minimalistic proto-techno to synth-driven post-punk -- pre-dating LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture by almost 30 years. Patrick Cowley (1950-1982) remains one of disco's most influential artists and a key producer of the genre. With seminal hits like "Do You Wanna Funk," "Menergy" and "Megatron Man," his work for disco-superstar Sylvester and of course, his million-selling remix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," he created the soundtrack for a whole generation. Artists such as Depeche Mode, The Pet Shop Boys and New Order cite him as a major influence. With a whole new global-disco aficionado scene now playing his records every weekend across the world's clubs, this release is about to hit the streets right on time. 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.

This is the first single from the Catholic full-length by Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras. "Soon" is a dark proto-techno track with hypnotic lyrics and warped synths, while "Robot Children" builds on a rigid sequencer bass line and futuristic sound-design. The first remix is by Morgan Geist -- who transforms Cowley's trademark production sound into 2009. KiNK's remix is derived from the original's drum machine sounds, crossing boundaries from techno to dubstep to experimental.
