Like their adverts say, the album boasts numerous songs that you've heard somewhere, such as "If Everybody Looked the Same" used in the film Miss Congeniality.

On the whole, the songs are quite pleasant with good instruments although the lyrics do get repetitive. Having said that, you will come back to this album again and again. The great blend of harmonies and samples will ensure that.

By far the best song on the album is "At the River" which has pleasing lyrics - "If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air..." and a beautiful layering of sounds which combine to leave a real peaceful impression.

The cover design was below-par, with a style that is becoming rapidly clichéd, but it certainly did not stop me enjoying the music.

This would make an ideal present for someone, even if they aren't interested in music. It's not of the same caliber of Moby or Fatboy Slim, but if you like their music you should enjoy Vertigo.

Yes, but I'd rate them above Fatboy Slim

Beautifully described..I have listened to some of Groove Armada and did enjoy the tunes..as I enjoy Moby, even Modjo and a lot of Parisian hip hop Jazz. I will check out more of this stuff, cheers

Nice op but a little bit info on the individual tracks would be more helful and you would get higher rating and more reads.Good luck.
