The Emergency - Forever/ Too Much

Tracks A.1 Forever, A.2 Too Much 12” Version. B.1 Too Much (Brother Remix), B.2 Forever (CLAWS Remix). 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) / Funk is one of the most grossly overused words in music journalism, but one can't help thinking of the term when listening to The Emergency's "Spending Time." The basslines groove, the the harmonies slink, and if the vocals didn't remind us of pasty white Englishmen from the mid-'80s, we might be convinced this track is straight from the 1960s. Love those handclaps XLR8R (USA) / The Emergency’s new 12” isn’t just pure entertainment. These songs are a great critique of today’s consumer society…. and you can dance your ass off to them .. 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. 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). CLAWS Remix: C.L.A.W.S rides bouncy dance tracks through a tunnel of weird laughter and metallic buzz, ending with a plunge into steel-tipped disco. (San Francisco Weekly)
