Album Review: Menergy/I Wanna Take You Home bw Tommy Williams Megamedley by Patrick Cowley Released in 1983 via Megatone Records, Menergy/I Wanna Take You Home bw Tommy Williams Megamedley is an electrifying slice of early '80s electronic music that still resonates today. The brainchild of Patrick Cowley—a pioneer in the Deep Techno and Hi NRG genres—this record pulses with energy, showcasing both his technical prowess and knack for crafting infectious grooves. With credits including Associate Producer Marty Blecman, Engineer Ken Kessie, and Mastering guru Jose Rodrigues, it’s clear this project was built with precision. The standout track here has gotta be “Menergy.” It kicks off with a driving beat that grabs your attention right away, like a neon sign flashing on a foggy night. The synths are layered so smoothly they almost feel alive, weaving through the mix like someone whispering secrets into your ear. This isn’t just background music—it demands you move. What sticks with me about “Menergy” is how timeless it feels; even decades later, its relentless rhythm could light up any dance floor. You can tell Cowley wasn’t messing around when he made this one. Another gem is “Tommy Williams’ Megamedley,” which takes things in a slightly different direction. It’s more playful, almost chaotic at times, but never loses its sense of purpose. The medley format lets Cowley flex his creativity, blending snippets of melody and rhythm into something that feels fresh every time you listen. It’s easy to imagine hearing this track at some underground club back in the day, folks losing themselves in its hypnotic flow. Honestly, it’s kinda wild how well it holds up—like finding an old photograph that somehow looks better than anything taken recently. What strikes me most about this album is how personal it feels despite being rooted in technology. Cowley didn’t just churn out beats; he crafted moments. Listening to these tracks, you get the sense that he poured pieces of himself into each note. Maybe that’s why they’ve stuck around all these years. Reflecting on Menergy/I Wanna Take You Home bw Tommy Williams Megamedley, I’m reminded of something funny: we often talk about music as if it’s meant to last forever, but maybe its real magic lies in those fleeting moments where everything clicks. And hey, if you’re gonna make people wanna dance till their feet hurt, you might as well do it this well.
