EMERGENCY was a multi-national band that was formed in Munich, German in 1970 and was sort of Germany's answer to brass rock in the style of Chicago meets Blood, Sweat & Tears. Founded by saxophonist Hanus Berka who left Prague for Germany. Berka himself had just come from the Prague garage band Matadors before forming EMERGENCY.This album sounds something right out of the Blood, Sweat & Tears playbook with heavy brass-rich tracks with a funky, bluesy guitar accompaniment. Despite the jazz-fusion tag EMERGENCY wasn't particularly progressive but rather focused on catchy melodic constructs with simple blues oriented guitar riffs upon which the trombone and saxophone parts could slink around. The keyboards do give a bit of 60s psychedelic rock heft to it.
