Hooverphonic anyone?


Yeah, Trip Hop. Definitely not a genre of music much mentioned on Audiogon.

The band Hooverphonic has made some sonically astounding music. They are a mix between ambient, hip hop, and psychadelic rock. Like a slowed down, cooled out Kraftwerk or Pink Floyd, but with better vocals and technology than these other bands old stuff. Hooverphonic puts out an electronic soundstage bigger and more interesting than almost anything I have ever experienced. Very cool sounds zipping around and around in 3D. Sounds from your extremem left or right or perhaps even behind you (only have I experience the behind you with my listening position very near the back wall). Great to vedge out with, or to be amazed at what your system can put out that you never knew it could. It is very interesting to me at least.

I suggest two Hooverphonic Cd's. A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular and Blue Wonder Power Milk. These two cd's are sonically magnificent for electronic music, check them out,

Thanks for the info Synthfreek,

Just bought "Beyond the Ultraworld" import new on eBay. There is an amazing difference in price ($22.00) between CD Universe, Amazon and eBay sellers. 10 daze to AU.

I'm sure you'll love it. UFOrb is my very favorite as it has a ufo theme to it. If anyone buys it be sure to get the 2disc version that has a 40 minute version of the song Blue Room on the 2nd sic.
Another thing is that Adventures Beyond...should only be purchased as a 2cd set as well. There was an edited down/condensed 1cd version that kind of ruined the experience.
There's something vaguely familiar about that name.....from Belgium and not Hooverville. Hmmm, I may have to check them out.
MORE Trip-Hop suggestions, PLEASE!

The more I listen to this genre, the more I want! It reminds my of the Story-Rock daze of the late-70's.

Jan
