top of the mornin to you all. hope everyone had a lovely weeks end. mine was just fine… one of my favorite records of the 90’s is definitely primal scream’s vanshing point, and while i wouldnt put it as high as some of the classics that were born out of that decade, but definitely in my top 30. the record is a hot mess, but its a beautiful hot mess. if you’ve never heard it, it sounds as if the stones relied heavily on synthesizers, overdubs and samples. definitely worth checking out….

here is an fm broadcast of show from the glasgow barrowlands back in 98 that takes most of the setlist from said record.

1. out of the void

3. burning wheel
4. if they move kill em
