Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Though both Groove Armada's Tom Findlay and Andy Cato hail from London, the pair choose to kick back to Ambleside in Cumbria when recording. As with a great deal of dance music through the 1990s, though broadly still considered house, the sound of Vertigo takes as much from the jaded, trip-hop of Bristol as it does from the uplifting house of Studio 54. It is this collusion which defines the LP with the vocal of "In My Bones" ruffled by a techno low end while the chugging backbeats of "Chicago" act to set off a delicate Chic-esque guitar. With an ear for spine-tingling samples lending a gentle weight to what would otherwise be innocuous instrumentals, the crumpled breaks of "At The River" perhaps offer the best example of this, and even the more straightforward forays into the genre are enlivened and enriched by broad influences, the pair have created a modern day classic.--Kingsley Marshall Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Stupidly good. Look at all the 5 star reviews then buy thisThis album is stupidly good. The only CD that comes close to this album is Air's 'Moon Safari' that is legendary itself. If you are looking for a chill out album and you don't already own this you have been missing out for years. 'At the River' is of course the best thing about this album but every track has its merits and 'Your Song' will also grow on you. All great songs can be overplayed but very few remain as good as the first time you hear them but 'At the River' is one of those select few. Recommended for someone looking to relieve stress. This is surely the best album ever made. Rating: - Party Funk meets the kick back and Chill!An album to shake ya arse to for some songs and kick back to for others. My fave is 'Chicago' a complete chillout track for a sunday morning. They say you know more Groove Armada tracks than you think, they'd be right!!! Buy it cos once you hear this, you'll be hooked.... Rating: - Seminal, Ground Breaking Chill-OutI first listened to this album in 1999 and it was this album that introduced to me to the then snow-balling phenomenon that is chill-out music. I was instantly converted. All of the tracks on this album are original, different and individual. So many artists have a song or songs that they create in a moment of inspiration, then every ensuing song seems to be a rehash or remix of that moment of brilliance, never quite managing to live up to the quality of the predecessor. This is where Groove Armada breaks the mould. Each track has a different angle to it. Each track takes you down a different path. You meander through, at your leisure, a lovely summer's day of track like 'At The River' then are forced to tap ...

I was played this by a friend and have been a fan ever since. There isnt a weak track on this whole album. At The River will get most of the plaudits but Pre 63 is another quality hook that gets in your head and wont go away. It has the potential to turn out to be the 'Rumours' of this era in that all present 20 Somethings will still fondly play this album when they reach their own private menopausal crisis. Rating: - Theres nothing quite like this albumThis album is amazing. My favourite always has been, always will be.They manage to mix jazz, funk, rap, and instramental all in one and it is delightlful. Im fed up of using words which dont give this music the gratitude it deserves just bye it you will see what i mean. |
