Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point, released in 1997 by Primal Scream, moves the band toward a darker, more atmospheric fusion of rock and electronic styles. The album emphasizes extended, hypnotic grooves, motorik-influenced rhythms, dub-style space and echoing production, and layered synth and guitar textures, favoring mood and repetition over conventional pop structures. Its sound blends alternative rock, electronica and alternative dance elements into a spacious, cinematic and exploratory record that marked a deliberate shift from more overtly dance-oriented work.
