Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by the 1971 cult film of the same name, 'Vanishing Point' is a dark, heavily dub-influenced exploration of neo-psychedelia and alternative dance. Primal Scream crafts an incredibly eclectic, drug-fueled nocturnal atmosphere filled with trip-hop grooves, surreal sampling, and paranoia.
