Hooverphonic is a Belgian rock/pop group formed in 1996. 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.
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.

The Magnificent Tree is the thing. BWPM is decent, but nowhere near TMT or A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular, some songs like Club Montepulciano or Battersea are quite good, but the results are nothing compared to the (wasted) potential. Damn it, I really love that cover art...
