 Metroactive Music | Hooverphonic
Stylistically, Hooverphonic blends the smooth montage sound of DJ Shadow with the bachelor-pad lounge aesthetic of Esquivel and Herb Alpert for a sound that's truly tres 1999.
To this mix of styles, the band adds beats to produce a type of pop that is quite persuasive (not to mention thoroughly modern, since nowadays, one can hardly tell an ad from a pop song anyway).
The album really represents a triumph of programming expertise, showing as it does that electronica doesn't have to be cold and detached, impassive and alienating: it can be as passionate and inviting as every other type of music.

Every time a Hooverphonic record filters through my speakers, I have no option but to surrender to their grand atmospherics and sensual melodies.
There once was a time when another vocalist's breath drew on the microphone, but for the last three years, Arnaert has effortlessly assimilated herself into the spotlight with a vocal range rarely matched in music today.
Take the torch-song woes expressed on "Vinegar and Salt" and you won't have reason to doubt me.

Thanks to the radio ubiquity of "2Wicky" (from their debut album, A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular), Hooverphonic won mainstream attention and early admission into the trip-hop pantheon.
As you listen to all three Hooverphonic albums you will hear a difference in sound which seperates each one in their own distinct way but I think that BLUE WONDER POWER MILK is their most mature album to date, thus deserving a ton of recognition.
But like the past, Hooverphonic's arrangements move us far from what we recognize of ourselves once we see it, and toward a longing--as the great poet Robert Hass wrote, "Longing, we say, because desire is full of endless distances."

Hooverphonic were one of the best "electronica" groups of the '90s, in my opinion.
The listening is better when one doesn't know what the songs are really about; two, they did an outstanding cover of Depeche Mode's "Shake the Disease", if you can ever find a copy of it.

I do consider them among the best of contemporary Belgian bands, and think they could well be the smartest bunch of instrument-playing people around these parts, but their music has never made my heart skip a beat, never has given me a chill up my spine.
So, Hooverphonic is still not "my thing", but they are edging closer with each album.
Interessant om vaststellen is trouwens dat Geike heel wat vocale vooruitgang geboekt heeft: nu eens lieflijk (in het mooie 'Waves'), dan weer overgevoelig (in het titelnummer), maar steeds met een duidelijke identiteit én in een onberispelijk Engels.
