Primal Scream

Vanishing Point

Reprise

Remember Primal Scream? In this latest symphonic escapade you’ll hear them go off in a million divergent directions, many of which are worthy of note. The journey will take you through multiple aural costume changes ranging from Trainspotting’_s tribal drum beat plodding into deep ghetto jazz, to the menacing industrial techno goth of “Kowalski,” to a psychedelic and trippy “Burning Wheel.” Blaxploitation inspiration is found on “If They Move Kill ‘Em,” and Rolling Stones style R&B comes with “Medication.” These selections are nicely accessorized by enhancers such as tablas, saxophone, trumpet, harmonica, and movie dialogue from the coincidentally titled movie. Choose between vocals or none. _Vanishing Point is Primal Scream exhibiting multiple personalities which unite to form this varied sampler.
