Hooverphonic - Sit Down and Listen To [2003]
Could it be that this, their fifth CD, far from being a rehash of their earlier releases, is the most accomplished, rich and satisfying of all their efforts? YES!
Though I love all their CDS, each one contain a few tracks that are throw-aways, too similar in melody and production to the other songs on the same CD. NOT SO WITH “Sit Down and Listen To: The Live Theatre Recordings.”
It’s title a line from the tune, “Lullaby of Broadway,” this disc plays like Hooverphonic Unplugged meets 1960’s French Cinema Soundtracks to produce one hell of a super chilled jazz-vocal menu on half the songs, and Edith Piaf meets Dusty Springfield to serve up smoldering torch songs on the rest!
ALL the best songs from “A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular,” “The Magnificent Tree” and “Jackie Cane” are represented here; the only mar being the short shrift given “Blue Wonder Power Milk,” arguably Hooverphonic’s best CD before “Sit Down.” After hearing these haunting reworkings, I longed to hear “Magenta” in a similar vein.
