Tetrack - Unfinished BusinessLast year the vintage harmony group Tetrack announced they had reformed after over 25 years with the release of single Dread Out Deh. On February 14th they issued their long awaited new album 'Unfinished Business'.

'Unfinished Business' was sung by Carlton Hines and Norris Reid of the Viceroys - a colleague from the days when both artists worked with Augustus Pablo in the 1970s. Original Tetrack member Dave Harvey was initially on board for the project but then left the group before the vocals were laid.

The tracks were recorded at the Hines’ Artistic Studio in Kingston, with Carlton’s brother Jimi as engineer. Musicians included George Dusty Miller on drums, David Madden on trumpet and Robbie Lyn on keyboards.

According to Carlton's MySpace “The album includes tracks that were first rehearsed by Augustus Pablo e.g. 'Some a dem". It also includes songs that were originally produced by Pablo which were never released ["Nah give up" and "Shirley"]. These two songs however I have tweaked lyrically. The album also includes a track "Dread out Deh" from an album that Tetrack did for Gussie Clarke [Music Works label]. The album was not completed and Gussie gave that song to the Diamonds. He only changed the lead vocals.  It appears on the "Real Enemy" album [Diamonds].”

'Unfinished Business' is available for download via distributor VP Records. A CD issue may follow.

These old time artists should use acoustic drums and make vintage sounds rather than this computer-generated thing. Hire Flabba Holt and Style Scott or Robbie Shakespeare and Horsemouth or Sly and it will be warmer, more organic and probably sell more.
