Belgian Trip Hop

What better way to spend a hungoverdly Sunday evening than at Hooverphonic gig at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels?



None.


The stage was well atuned to the laid back "trip hop"-vibe so wonderfully embodied by the *very* sexy Geike Arnaert: a mere few orchestratedly-glowing industrial lightbulbs strung from the high ceiling, a string quartet & the electronics. Simple.

With no less than 4 encores, we were treated to a very chilled out night. Highlight for me was undoubtedly "Eden", though their new oeuvre most certainly risks chasing the old time favorite from its number 1 spot. The new album is available for download in January, with their European tour starting spring 2006. Recommended!
