VORTEX keeps the strong releases coming with lovers-rock covers viewed through a rare groove/soul lens. This time, master musician Robert "Dubwise" Browne takes "Tracks Of Love" — the miraculous, top-shelf mellow instrumental classic cut by The Solid Gold Orchestra in 1975 — and arranges it as a Lovers Rock version for the very first time anywhere: an exquisite cover!!! This classic 7-inch is back in stock for the first time in a while.
Track List

The groove here, enough to floor even rare groove fans, kicks off with an opening drum break, and the rhythm painted by the enveloping piano and sweet, sobbing cutting guitar stays faithful to the original while Robert's outstanding arrangement firmly follows reggae manners — essentially an instrumental-style, top-grade Lovers Rock cover of "Touch Me Take Me"!! And on the flip, as with number 07, you get a gooey Guitar DUB version (sample2) by Steven Stanley, the legendary engineer who became the man of the hour for his innovative dub sound at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas in the early '80s, working with Grace Jones, Tom Tom Club and more. Together with the simultaneously released 007 "MAYA HATCH & ROBERT 'DUBWISE' BROWNE / Touch Me Take Me," these two titles are practically sister releases. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
