Dark, moody...perfect
, July 12, 2000Reviewer: Mani - See all Mani's reviewsAll I can say about this album is.......hmmmm. This is a return to dance-rock for Primal Scream, and again, they pull it off perfectly. Don't listen to this while alone in a strange place....the dark, dub rhythms are quite spooky. Good tracks are "Burning Wheel", "Kowalski", "Star", and "Stuka". This marks the Primal Scream debut of Mani, ex-Roses bassist. -
COOL

Pro Reviews: Vanishing Point
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Primal Scream found themselves in danger of losing their hip audience in the wake of their misconceived trad-rock record, Give Out but Don't Give Up. As a reaction, they returned to the genre-bending, electronic dance-rock of the seminal Screamadelica for Give Out's follow-up, Vanishing Point. Instead of recycling the dazzlingly bright neo-psychedelia of Screamadelica, Primal Scream reaches deep into cavernous dub and '60s pop. Vanishing Point is a dark, trippy album, filled with mind-bending rhythms and cinematic flourishes. The addition of former Stone Roses bassist Mani to the Scream gives their music an organically funky foundation that had been lacking. Over those rhythms are samples, reverbed guitars, and synthesizers that echo spy movies, Southern soul, and the Stones. Above anything else, Vanishing Point is about sound and groove. Words remain a weak point for Bobby Gillespie, who only manages cohesive lyrics on the swirling "Burning Wheel" and "Star," but that is a secondary concern, since Primal Scream is at its best when working the rhythms. Songs like "Kowaliski" and, in particular, the extended instrumentals of "Get Duffy" and "Trainspotting" illustrate that the group is still capable of creating exotic, thoroughly entrancing sounds, which is what makes Vanshing Point a remarkable comeback. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Primal Scream Biography
Primal Scream's career could in many ways be read as a microcosm of British indie rock in the '80s and '90s. Bobby Gillespie formed the band in the mid-'80s while drumming for goth-tinged noise-rockers the Jesus Mary Chain, who were the exact opposi...Full Primal Scream Biography
