Hooverphonic - The President of the LSD Golf Club

Hooverphonic are a Belgian rock/pop group, formed in 1995. Though early on categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be described as a lone genre, but rather encompass alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and mixture of others.

The President of the LSD Golf Club is the sixth studio album album of this band. The album has quite a different feel from previous Hooverphonic albums. The album was recorded with live musicians and made use of the mellotron, an electronic keyboard popularised by The Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever. The sound of the album harks back to the psychedelic era of music but clearly retains a sense of modernity. Songs such as Expedition Impossible are also have more of a traditional rock sound, compared to the sound of earlier Hooverphonic work.

Airlock - Drystar

Airlock is a Belgium based Trip-hop musical group formed November 1997 notable for their ambient music on several popular TV series. The band members were Renaud Charlier, Ernst W. Meinrath and Pierre Mussche.

In 1998, Musicom, began crafting tracks of cool electronic ambience mixed with orchestral hip-hop, as soundtracks for adverts and underground films. Scottish born Esra Tasasiz joined Musicom and the four decided to work together on recording a short piece of music. It was during these sessions that it soon became obvious that their creative output worked outside the confines of cinematography and Airlock were formed. 

The production of the first album ‘Drystar’ stretched over a period of two-and-a-half-years.
