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,

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.

Hello...

After a few months of searching, I decided to bite the bullet and buy U.F. Orb - 2 discs, re-mastered from CD Universe. Looking forward to Blue Room 40 minute mix.

CD with a few others arrived today.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is their best outing, although I enjoyed Orbvs Terrarvm and Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld.

But WOW... UF Orb is amazing! Sounds coming out of nowhere and making me jump in my seat.

Thanks to those of you who who have recommended Trip-Hop! I am searching for a number of the arcane titles that have been suggested.

BTW: In the same shipment, Hooverphonic Presents Jackie Cane and 2 Diana Krall SACDs.

Portishead 3rd arriving later this week...
