Hooverphonic, “Blue Wonder Power Milk” 1998

#Hooverphonic bubbled just below the popularity level of fellow #downtempo-ers #MassiveAttack and #Portishead. A little more up-tempo here, with a dash of #britpop (hold that thought), this album is a #90s classic.

But to come clean: I picked this album as a route to the song “This Strange Effect.” Long my favorite Hooverphonic track, I thought it was their original. When I found out it was a #RayDavies composition, it instantly made sense; it has that yearning, keening quality that builds as it sneaks up on you, similar to my favorite #Kinks tune, “Tired of Waiting” - but add that #tremolo #guitar, blessedly reproduced, even exaggerated by Hooverphonic, and oh man does this one slink around in my heart and bones.

Written for #DaveBerry, #TheKinks never released a studio recording. Live performances later showed up in various collections.
