Album Review
Hooverphonic is Belgium's premiere psychedelic ambient dream pop ensemble. Their sixth studio-produced album retains the trippy qualities that have earned them a faithful following since they emerged from the ethers in 1995, while steering towards a relaxed and slightly more conventional accessibility. Word up is that President of the LSD Golf Club was supposed to be the title of the album released in 2000 as The Magnificent Tree, but that someone at Sony wouldn't allow it. That kind of blockheaded censorship was already outmoded more than three decades earlier when the Rolling Stones were forced by executives at London and Decca to release their Beggars Banquet album with a crème colored RSVP "invitation" cover instead of the originally intended and now familiar photo of a graffiti-decorated water closet! True to form, Hooverphonic saw to it that certain editions available in Sweden, Spain, Italy, and France contain an eleventh bonus track entitled "The Perfect Dose."
Customer Reviews
Sit down & listen to more sweet music from Belgium!
My ABSOLUTE favorite band, this is a no-brainer to download all 10 tracks. Difficult to classify (Adult alternative ambient dream Trip-pop?) vocalist Geike Arnaert, songwriter/programmer/bass player Alex Callier & guitarist Raymond Geerts sound a little more stripped down and psychedelic than previous efforts (dig that retro organ!) The first 6 tracks are most accessible; the last 4 get kind of introspective/spacey (in a good way). Also get "Pink Flamingo Dream" from the single. Preview the entire album free on Hooverphonic's official website + see videos for "Gentle Storm" & "Expedition Impossible". Recommended for fans of Portishead, Morcheeba, Goldfrapp, Telepopmusik or Massive Attack. Also check out Lamb, Ivy, Bitter:Sweet, Natalie Walker, Lunascape, & Zero 7. Hoping the rumors of a 2008 US concert tour come true!
Very pleased
I admit after hearing the single 'Expedition Impossible' I wasn't too impressed and I worried the quality of the album wouldn't be what I was hoping. However, after listening to all of it, I'm very happy to say it's worthy of the name Hooverphonic. As demonstrated by their recent trend, there is more mainstream flare in this album than some previous (they have taken a liking to the harpsichord sample like other groups such as Mono, The Bird and the Bee, etc), but fine by me, I like it! It still maintains that unique Hooverphonic sound and has melodies that will get stuck in your head for days at a time. Very solid album, I'm glad to see Hooverphonic is still strong!
absolutely fantastic!!!
I have been a fan of Hooverphonic for what seems like forever. After a few albums, 'experimental' bands like Hooverphonic usually fall off but let me tell you, they've done anything but...This album is awesome and if I had to name one musical act that is highly underrated, Hooverphonic would be at the top of my list. Just buy it...!
