Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 7/10-24/97, pp.120-122
4 Stars (out of 5) - "...it rages woozily across the cranial dance floor, pinballing between mind f***s, genre hops and drug trips..."
Spin - 9/97, pp.157-158
(8 out of 10) - "...In unfazed and lucid waves, everything--dance beats and guitar crunches, Memphis memories and Abbey Road scorings, the raw and the refined--washes through VANISHING POINT. Primal Scream hear classic rock, TV and movie scores, reggae, and the sleek means of electronica as fabulous interchangeable style moves..."
Entertainment Weekly - 7/11/97, pp.65-66
"...Imagine a bunch of woozy Scots jamming in a Middle Eastern techno club in bustling Piccadilly Circus, and you have a rough idea of the swirling, hypnotic acid-trip electronica of VANISHING POINT..." - Rating: A
Q - 1/98, p.114
Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1997."
Option - 11-12/97, p.111
"...With VANISHING POINT, Primal Scream shows fruits of what must be some of pop's most voracious sets of ears....It just [seems] that no matter where the Screamers lay their hats they manage to sound at home, or at the very least, pretty damned cool."
Melody Maker - 12/20-27/97, pp.66-67
Ranked #16 on Melody Maker's list of 1997's "Albums Of The Year."
Melody Maker - 7/5/97, p.51
"...a real feeling of movement within its grooves; sometimes cruising on easy, other times oblivious and blindingly LOUD....crams everything in with a casual, dirty ease which [many] bands nearly kill themselves trying to stumble across."
Musician - 9/97, p.87
"...loose-limbed song structures and multitudinous manipulated sounds of classic dub. Guitar, bass, drums, and vocals are often processed to a point where they are rendered unrecognizable among the mind-bending mix of tablas, sitars, bassoons, theremins, and Lord knows what else..."
Village Voice (2/24/98) - Ranked #40 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
NME (Magazine) - 12/20-27/97, pp.78-79
Ranked #4 in NME's 1997 Critics' Poll.
NME (Magazine) - 7/5/97, p.58
"...VANISHING POINT is a landmark for Primal Scream. It finds them all but abandoning their classic-rock shtick and discovering...the band's real voice....a truly surprising, sometimes even magical, record..."
