If you are like me, you probably usually dismiss the 80's as a decade full of garbage, kind of like the 70's. This album is one of the few exceptions. Absolutely breathtaking. These guys are considered to be pillars in the semi-fictional "Paisley Underground" scene in LA. But not many other groups in that scene should be taken as seriously as Rain Parade. This is the first music project to include David Roback, who went on to form Opal, Rainy Day, and Mazzy Star. Usually if you pick up "Emergency 3rd Rail Power Trip" it will come with their '84 EP "Explosions In the Glass Palace." And for once I agree with putting two works together. Together you get 15 songs that flow perfectly. This is some great 12-String Ric psychedelia. This album is nothing short of a classic and I consider it to be one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Melodic, trippy, and just really well written. Get this album now! Do it!
