News From Ibiza: Disco Is Back In Its Funkiest Most Psychedelic Form. Names To Drop Hercules & Love Affair Glass Candy & The Emergency — Vogue UK (August 2008)

As fresh and breezy an effort as anything produced by the much hyped Italo-Disco school and, while all the
signifiers of that movement are here –The Emergency never sound quotational or calculated…. this single is a
classy outing by one our most futuristic sounding groups. — threethousand.com (Australia)

Yet another diamond in the rough..The Emergency are from Melbourne, Australia and their brooding, indie
electro sound reminds me so much Colder mixed with Cut Copy mixed with Chromatics. Maybe I’m just a
sucker for things that sound like they are recorded by tall, dark and handsome gentlemen playing synths in
long, concrete hallway — Big Stereo (USA)

Brothers Remix: Brothers are kind of the unsung heroes of Brooklyn right now. ..they gave us this glitched-out romp of liquid synths and changing tempos. We were jamming it on the way to work this morning and envisioned the L train turning into a disco of sweaty bodies chanting loudly in unison, which actually happened minus the disco and dancing and unity. — Fader Magazine (USA)

In a word stunning. More club floor decimation from the Metal Postcard stable .
This brooding beauty will appeal to everyone from disciples of Kraftwerk to lovers of DAF,gloriously parched with a retro accents and liberally dipped with stark minimalist grooves this dislocated euro disko funk wrap ripples warily like a ‘music for the masses’ era Depeche Mode — Losing Today (UK)

Relish the second before you press play below as one of anticipation before bliss, an electric impulse later finds you floating in the zero-g space of their synthetic world. This Is Good — 20 Jazz Funk Greats

The Emergency bring a warmth to their music that forms a nice juxtaposition to the cold electronic based instruments…. this 12″ gets a thumbs-up because it’s pretty damn good. — In The Mix (Australia)

Biography of Tom Burbank
Mixing left-field hip-hop with melodic electronica, producer/multi-instrumentalist Tom Burbank creates a sound somewhere between Prefuse 73, RJD2, and his labelmate Edit. The Los Angeles native was once a member of the Fela tribute band Afrobeat Down, and played numerous DJ sets up and down the California coast as a member of the [...]

(Japanese Edition with 1 bonus track)
Inspirations range from Star Trek, the waft of sag aloo, a dash of pretension, sex, eight years of righteous rule and the odd nod to twenty years ago.
Their music has def beats, raw power, mysterious melodies, eastern scales, vocal harmonies, the occasional mental reverb, not to mention ripping guitar.  LANGUIS [...]

Disintegration Loop 1.1 consists of one static shot of lower Manhattan billowing smoke during the last hour of daylight on September 11th, 2001, set to the decaying pastoral tape loop Basinski had recorded in August, 2001. Shot from Basinskiﾕs roof in Williamsburg Brooklyn, this is an actual documentary of how he and [...]
