Vanishing Point is a 1997 (see 1997 in music) album by Primal Scream. It is named after a 1971 film of the same name, especially the song "Kowalski", which is meant to be an alternative soundtrack to the movie. Vanishing Point shows inspiration from dub, ambient music, dance, krautrock and other genres, as well as individual bands such as Motörhead, Can, and The Stooges. It was the first album to feauture the band's new bass player, Gary "Mani" Mounfield.
