Vertigo Bliss, comprised of vocalist/guitarist Dave Kotlan, bassist Denny Holler, and drummer TBone Brenneise, have been dubbed "the rowdy trio" by area music editors for their outrageous antics, sense of humor and energetic live shows.
Vertigo Bliss blasted on to the music scene in 2000 with "focus," their debut CD that spent 6 weeks in the #1 position on the Inland Northwest's top 10 charts (and 1 ½ years in the top 10).
From the tongue-in-cheek songs: "zipper-mask," "bi-curious girlfriend," and the ode to Britney Spears called "bs," to the more serious side with: "my bad," "the last drive-in theatre" and the wedding favorite "you,"...Vertigo Bliss has something for everyone.

The real catch, and what makes this cd-single better than Vertigo #2, is the b-side, which is a good (but not great tune) - a bit of a rocker, lyrically in the vein of "Always" (the b-side from "Beautiful Day") - and a nice addition to those who will be burning their own HTDAAB+ cd.
While playing the song's main riff, I got the rhythm a little wrong, and suddenly I was playing the famous riff from "Vertigo", as easy as that.
I got suspicious and listened to the songs on my computer, and sure enough, the "Vertigo" riff is almost exactly the same as the riff from "In The City".

 Vertigo
Vertigo began their career with a focus on uptempo '60s-style garage punk before slowing down the tempoes, cranking up the ear-piercing treble and adding more grunge and psych influences to their songwriting for later recordings.
Vertigo are far, far tighter musically, more trained, and probably better than Pussy Galore ever was, which wouldn't be tough (though even they had some - but not very many - good songs).
The bottom lime in all this is that Vertigo was a talented hard rock trio whose output was marred by that common yet frustrating bugaboo hobgoblin known as 'Inconsistency.' I wholeheartedly, disumbilically recommend their eponymous debut, but beyond that it's going to have to be your call.

While the tempos on Groove Armada's Vertigo vary from Fatboy Slim-ish party rockers to Air-like downtempo ambient grooves, the songs themselves are downright simple, sample-laden, and sugary sweet.
The song definitely has a jazz influence to it and just like "At the River", a perfect song to chill out to.
A lot of the songs are excellent however I am more inclined to side with the reviewers who thinks that Groove Armada (and/or this album in particular) is overrated.
