Hooverphonic

Albums: The Magnificent Tree, Blue Wonder Power Milk, Presents Jackie Cane

Hooverphonic is a Belgian rock/pop group formed in 1995. Though initially placed in the trip-hop genre, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be classified so easily. The band originally called themselves Hoover but later changed their name to Hooverphonic due to other groups using the Hoover name.

The band achieved international recognition through the inclusion of the track 2Wicky (from A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular) on the soundtrack to Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1996 film Stealing Beauty (Io Ballo da Sola). The original members of the group were vocalist Liesje Sadonius, keyboardist Frank Duchêne, bass guitarist and programmer Alex Callier, and guitarist Raymond Geerts. Sadonius left Hooverphonic on amicable terms shortly after the release of A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular and was replaced by Geike Arnaert in early 1998.

Duchêne left the band after Blue Wonder Power Milk. By the end of 2008 Hooverphonic announced that Geike Arnaert was leaving the band. At this moment Hooverphonic is still looking for a new lead singer.

Hooverphonic released their fifth studio album No More Sweet Music in November 2005, featuring four singles: Wake Up, You Hurt Me, Dirty Lenses and We All Float. One year later they released a Best Of album called Singles 96-06. This was their latest release under the Sony label.

Hooverphonic released their latest album The President Of The LSD Golf Club on 8th October 2007 in Belgium and Holland, which includes the single Expedition Impossible. European Release January 2008 (although available via mail-order). This will be an independent release, recorded at the Willie Nelson studios in the USA.

It's unclear if the January release will include a North American release. On October the 10th '08 the management announced that Geike Arnaert will be leaving the band.

    battersea.... blue wonder powder milk is such a great album.... I used to write to it back in college....err... I mean bachelor's degree college... not double master's degree college... well, technically I'm writing to it while I'm in college now so... I guess this should have been a blanket statement.

    Listening to "Waves." My favorite song ever produced by Hooverphonic. The song makes me use my imagination. Music shouldn't only please the ears, but also our mind. Music should captivate our hearts.
