MODERNE MUSIC AT IT'S BEST.

"In '96, I began (with fervor), a quest to discover moderne Music that wasn't being played on most radio stations. (Yet I knew must exist.) Being a lifelong DJ and musicologist, I knew, in depth about the history of Roots music. I was now ready to go into the future. One of the first bands I encountered was a trip=hop/moderne lounge band from Belgium called Hooverphonic. Their debut album called "Space-Age Stereophonic Sounds" was out and I loved them immediately. With hints of 60's Pop & Lounge, they were thoroughly modern. Synths & drum machines blending with acoustic & electric guitars, harpsichords & other exotic instruments, backing ultra intimate & sexy female vocals. A winner all the way through. I've been a fan ever since & played 'em on my radio show many times. This singles CD is a fab introduction to one of the koolest moderne bands around: HOOVERPHONIC!"
