Telecommunication Breakdown is an album by Emergency Broadcast Network. It was released in 1995 by TVT Records. The CD includes three video tracks in addition to the audio, and a floppy disc includes an interactive press kit.

The music was produced by Jack Dangers, as a side project from his group Meat Beat Manifesto. The album features a number of guest performers: Brian Eno on "Homicidal Schizophrenic," with Jamie West-Oram of The Fixx on guitar; Bill Laswell contributed to "Shoot the Mac-10," with Grandmaster Melle Mel rapping.

## Critical reception

The New York Times wrote: "Outrageous and aggressive, Breakdown is guaranteed to have you either laughing, dancing or running from the room in terror ... Emergency Broadcast Network has a CD-ROM vision that matches and, to an extent, deepens its sonic attack."
