Robbie M & Terry Patton - Tri-Fire Vol.2 12" (PEOPLES POTENTIAL UNLIMITED)

Written By 3 - August 03 2010

Available Here on 12"

Following the success of the Midnight Express single 'Danger Zone', Robbie M and Terry Patton continued to search for new sounds. Over the next few years the duo would produce dozens of instrumental sketches. Terry always recorded these backing arrangements to cassette tapes so they could easily listen to them later in the car. Cruising the streets of Rock Island IL, vocalist Robbie M would write the additional melodies and lyrics. The plan was to release a full length studio album, combining all parts and adding vocals, but the group dispersed in 1985 before their dream was realized. The Terry tapes, which were never intended for commercial release, are all that remain. When we first heard them, they were inaudible with almost no tones left to preserve, but thanks to a few small miracles and genuine science the shroud of noise has been lifted to reveal an unexplainable haze of funk.

Track List & Listening Clips:
01 Turn It Out clip
02 Rock Island clip
03 Down For Love clip
04 Terry Jam #2 clip
05 Fade Groove clip
