Patrick Cowley — School Daze [recorded between 1973 and 1981, released 2013; experimental electronica / disco]: Cowley's hi-NRG and early electronica experiments turned into soundtracks for gay porn

In 1981 Patrick was contacted by John Coletti, owner of famed gay porn company Fox Studio in Los Angeles. John had heard about Patrick's music from the legendary Sylvester and proposed he write music for his films. Patrick jumped on this offer and sent reels of his college compositions from the 70s to John in LA. Coletti then used a variable speed oscillator to adjust the pitch and speed of Patrick's songs in-sync with the film scene. "School Daze" is a collection of Cowley's instrumental songs recorded between 1973 and 1981 found in the Fox Studio vaults.

Released by Dark Entries Records, who specialize in this kind of obscure finds — and also in gay music, judging by some of their covers.

Wild Dub: Dread Meets Punk Rocker Downtown [2003, post-punk / dub]: some classic dubby post-punk tunes

Alas, it seems that many of the tracks are blocked on Youtube in Germany, US, and other countries. In any case, I recommend getting a proper release of the full compilation because it's mastered quite nicely, while the Youtube videos are collected from different releases. Unfortunately, I could only find it for free in torrents and SoulSeek. Dunno about paid services like the Spotifies and Tidals.

There's also a great sequel compilation ‘Modern Wild Dub: Dread Meets Disco Punkrocker Downtown’ (link to Discogs) — as specified, more on the post-disco side and featuring some more modern bands. But I couldn't find it on Youtube at all, perhaps separate tracks are there.

Mamaleek — Live at Elbo Room Jack London, Oakland, California, July 16th 2019 [noise-rock / blues metal with jazzy bits]

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/53062905

This is basically the 2020 album ‘Come and See’ live — apparently the album itself was recorded live with 'little to no overdubs', but the quality is of course better.

Also, if anyone knows a better fitting genre description for this, please let me know.
