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,

Anyone seen smokeys with ears on? :)

I love all the Hooverphonics, as well as all the DePhazz, Tricky, Waldeck, Basement Jaxx, Photek, Pieter K, Air, and Kruder & Dorfmeister albums.

If you like Hooverphonic, try Future Sound of London... Lifeforms is a good place to start.
Jsmoller- I hope you were not charged to much for shipping from the seller on ebay? I am sometimes put off by charges of between $3-$7 per cd without delivery confirmation or Insurance that a lot of cd sellers want to charge.
Unless it is a 'must have cd'.
Martina-Topley Bird (has worked with Tricky) and the Skye solo work that just came out in 2007 are also excellent. Flunk, IVY, Moloko, Esthero's first album and DJ Zen are also excellent.
