Title: Dreamy precursor to Mazzy Star
Product review: "Emergency" represents one of the two high points of L.A.'s early 1980s music scene (along with the Dream Syndicate's "The Days of Wine and Roses", of course!). Alternating between the shimmering narcotic buzz of "This Can't Be Today"/"Kaleidoscope" and the more pop-psychedelic cheeriness of "Look at Merri"/"What She's Done To Your Mind", both "Emergency" and its included followup "Explosions" (which leans more toward the former--"No Easy Way Down" being the standout there imho) contain melodies that are sublimely gorgeous. These albums contain gems aplenty that sound like nothing else from that time, and anybody looking for more songs from Mazzy Star's Roback should buy this without hesitation.
