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. But this Belgian group's sound was always closer to the warm etherealness and pop aspirations of bands like Australia's Single Gun Theory than the wispy experimentalism of Britain's Portishead. Well, they'll probably still be labeled a trip-hop band, but Blue Wonder Power Milk is essentially an electronica-tinged symphonic pop album--and a very strong one, at that. The breathy coo of new vocalist Geike Arnaert melds effortlessly with the languid beats of tracks like "Club Montepulciano" and "Eden" as well as with the more muscular drum & bass of "Battersea." In fact, almost all the songs--many of which are augmented by simple string arrangements--possess a beguiling beauty guaranteed to keep your finger on the repeat button. Highly recommended. --Steve Landau

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Astounding.......2007-03-12

I had first heard of Hooverphonic on 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' when their song '2Wicky' played in the scene where Sarah Michelle Gellar seeks sanctuary in her chartacter's family-owned General Store. As I listened to the song play, I began to like the mellow beat and almost celestial sound.

The next summer saw the release of 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' and, once more, they used material from Hooverphonic. The song 'Eden' played during a scene where Jennifer Love Hewitt remembered her best friend from last summer and what happened to her. I fell in love with the song and the group then.

I bought this CD and fell in love with it too! 'Battersea' and it's upbeat ballad mixed with strings, 'Eden' and it's slow-paced beat and sad mood.

Basically the whole CD had me wanting more. A great CD to relax to.

A great, big Thank You to Alex Steyermark, Sharon Boyle and John Houlihan (Music Supervisors on 'I Know What You Did Last Summer And 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer') for choosing to use their material. If it hadn't been for them, I would've never gotten to discover such great band.

The first time I heard this was at friend's house. It was loaded onto an iPod and started playing as the alarm went off one morning...I had never heard of this band or any of their music before. The first words out of my mouth were, "What band is this?...I LOVE this music."

Hooverphonic's music is almost magical. The beauty of their sound borders on mystical. I now have it loaded onto my computer and play it all the time. I LOVE this album.

5 out of 5 stars Just Love It..........2006-05-05

Hooverphonic is one of my favorite bands and this album does not disappoint. It's one of the best trip hop albums out there and I highly recommend it. I have every Hooverphonic CD and Blue Wonder Power Milk is my absolute favorite. They never seem to let me down. My ipod is totally stuffed to the max with their music.

I heard "This Strange Effect" on a cell phone ad recently and had to have it. Tracked the CD down through Amazon.com,listened to the samples and decided to buy it even though on my initial listen no other song stuck out like "Strange Effect". When I got to listen to the whole CD, it blew me away. Another reviewer astutely pointed out that the strings in "Battersea" are reminiscent of Henryk Gorecki's "Symphony No.3". They also make a few more appearances on other songs. What's lovely about "Battersea" is the perfect mix of strings playing as if they were ascending into heaven, Geike Arnaert's lovely/sweet voice, the bass & drums that subtly get louder than softer in the mix and the great melody provided by Mr. Callier. Though there's not a bad song in the bunch, my faves are "Battersea","Dictionary", the sexy/weird "Club Montepulciano","Eden",freaky/funky "Lung","This Strange Effect","Tuna" and "Magenta",the trippy official closing song. The bonus song is named after the album.
I tend to write lyrics like these (strange,poetic,off-balance,left-of-center)for my own songs(Hear Jay Thing's "Guardians of the Underworld)and know that some folks dig them and some don't. But the music is so hypnotic, lush and beautiful you don't need to know what the lyrics are anyway.
This is wonderful futuristic symphonic pop and I can't wait to check out the rest of their catalogue. As has been pointed out in these reviews,this CD sounds especially awesome when listened to with headphones. So go dig it boys & girls!

4 out of 5 stars Hooverphonic will always be one of my favorites........2006-03-03

Hooverphonic is a great trippy band. Their first album was awesome, but it seems that this one falls a bit short of the Stereophonic Sound Spectacular. Don't get me wrong, I love this disc, but it's not quite as good as the first. Now I am still glad I bought this CD! "Eden" and "This Strange Effect" are both great songs, and so is the rest of the album, The new cd is full of compelling vocals and beautiful string arrangments. It's music that can't be categorized,sythesizers, violins, guitars and an overall electronic sound to bring the whole thing together. The vocals, sounds, music, etc, are very original and unique.. If you enjoy this type of music, I recommend these artists: "Portishead", "Spicehouse", "Single Cell Orchestra", "Mandalay" and "Stereolab". Hooverphonic will always be one of my favorites.

5 out of 5 stars Hooverphonic--Not the Vacuum Cleaner.......1999-11-21

The band. Talented. Angel (with no reference to The Exorcist). The warm sophomore album delivers. Some notable songs include tracks 1 through 15. While heavily orchestrated under Callier, Arnaert's vox is like angel dust, solo or duo. And you don't have to speak much English to enjoy it. The album never loses its power from Battersea to Milk. Cookies, anyone?

5 out of 5 stars An amazing CD. One of my all-time favorites........2000-06-21

An online buddy turned me on to Hooverphonic, and that is probably the only musical recommendation by him that I have actually benefitted from. After hearing a couple songs, I picked up this CD at the store, and ran home to play it. From the opening bars of Battersea to the last song, every note is precious and needs to be savored. A second listen is even better, and it only gets better with repeated plays. It's a wonderful CD that everybody needs to buy. That's Blue.....Wonder.....Power.....Milk! ;)
