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

I bought this album because amazon recommended it to me. I didn't much care for it.
 my favorite Hooverphonic title October 30, 2008
Voyager (State of Confusion)
I'm not going to repeat what many others have already stated. This is one of Hooverphonic's finest works. From the haunting yet danceable Battersea to the incredible Neon, Hooverphonic takes you on a ride of complex and enjoyable musical textures that keep your feet moving, and your head tripping.
If you've never listened to Hooverphonic, this should be your introduction to the group. If you're a long time Hooverphonic fan, than this is an essential part of your collection.
Another solid HooverPhonic release April 15, 2008
Rich Grace (Guerneville, CA United States)
Several classic Hooverphonic tunes reside on this disc, including "Club Montepulciano," "Eden," "Out of Tune" and "Battersea." The only problem is that on a few tracks, the male vocalist takes over, at which point the disc goes to snoozer Hell. Nevertheless, this uneven disc is well worth your time as a trip-hop listener. A good follow-up to Stereo Sound Spectacular, with some high points surpassing the preceding disc. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't offer MP3s and iTunes doesn't have a full HooverPhonic selection. So, take the good with the bad.

Long black dress, Hawaiian shirt, kicking pair of trainers - electro shock faders. What a song and what an album! Battersea is fantastic too! It is a must have.
Absolutely Astounding March 12, 2007
Christian A. Lainez (Bell, CA USA)
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.
