WoW!!

Very good album
The more I listen to it, the more I like it.
One of my favorite eMusic downloads to date
I was so excited to see Hooverphonic on eMusic. They are a true success story of stylistic evolution. They've managed to retain the compelling aspects of their '90s trip-hop roots while maturing into new territory. This album is moving, danceable and comforting all at the same time. Awesome. I'm really looking forward to whatever comes next.
Great album!
50 Watt is just a monster tune, and the rest of the album is pretty solid as well. Overall, it's up there with Blue Wonder Powder Milk - one of my favorite ambient / trip-hop albums of all time.
wake me up when it's over
The album art is awesome. Creative band name and the album title is appropriate. You'd have to either be tripping on LSD or enjoy watching the sleepy past time of golf to be able to listen to this and stay awake. yaaaawwwwwn.
Sit down & listen to more sweet music from Belgium
My ABSOLUTE favorite band, this is a no-brainer to download all 10 tracks. Hooverphonic left Sony/BMG in 2006 & now they're on [PIAS] & eMusic! 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 & psychedelic than previous efforts (dig that retro organ!) The first 6 tracks are most accessible; the last 4 get kind of introspective/spacey. Also get "Pink Flamingo Dream" from the single. Preview entire album free on Hooverphonic's official website + videos for singles "Gentle Storm" & "Expedition Impossible". Recommended if a fan of Portishead, Morcheeba, Goldfrapp, Telepopmusik or Massive Attack. For more on eMusic check out: Lamb, Ivy, Bitter:Sweet, Natalie Walker, Lunascape, & Zero 7. (Arrgh! I bought import CD January 28th & Sia's newest early, but got Ingrid Michaelson on eMusic & won't make same mistake on Vampire Weekend)
