It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

The Belgian ambient pop band Hooverphonic featured vocalist Liesje Sadonius, guitarist/programmer Alex Callier, keyboardist Frank Duchêne, and guitarist Raymond Geerts. Known simply as Hoover across Europe, the group made their initial splash contributing the song "2Wicky" to the soundtrack of the 1996 Bernardo Bertolucci film Stealing Beauty, followed a year later by the full-length New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular. Sadonius left Hooverphonic a short time later, and was replaced by vocalist Geike Arnaert in time to record 1998's Blue Wonder Power Milk. The band went from strength to strength during the next decade, releasing three more studio albums and a live orchestral album, Sit Down and Listen to Hooverphonic, but left Sony BMG in 2006 in protest at lack of support from the label, releasing a singles compilation as a contractual obligation. In 2008 they signed with the powerhouse Belgian indie PIAS to release the album The President of the LSD Golf Club, but shortly after its release, Arnaert left the band to pursue a solo career. Undeterred, the band began the search for a replacement. After receiving thousands of applications from all over the world, they finally decided on a young Belgian woman, Noémie Wolfs, who had almost no previous musical experience. Their first album with Wolfs on vocals, entitled The Night Before, was issued in 2010. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

You found 2Wicky? Isn't it great? Did you know it was written by Burt Bacharach? Amazing, huh? Just goes to show that a musician is a musician is a musician and can change and grow.
2Wicky just came on... I heard it only once on the radio on Chocalate City in 1997 and was lucky enough to record it on cassette? I was in High School back then. Right now, I am on base and I was laying down trying to go to sleep then it just suddenly came on and I recognized it in the beginning. I was like 'Wo Sh*t!' I can't believe it came on after all these years and now I know who it is. Awesome song!!!
I absolutely agree that Pandora needs to do a better job updating their database so that it includes the newer albums from Hooverphonic. For all those wondering, here is the discography:
1996 A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular 1998 Blue Wonder Power Milk 2000 The Magnificent Tree 2002 Hooverphonic Presents Jackie Cane 2003 Sit Down and Listen to Hooverphonic (Live, unplugged recordings) 2005 No More Sweet Music 2007 The President of the LSD Golf Club 2010 The Night Before (new vocalist)
Aaah, bliss, grooving to tracks from "Blue Wonder Power Milk" right now. Just ordered that cd and "A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular" since I can't find those downloads to buy online. Already got tracks from "President of the LSD Golf Club," one of their more recent releases. Can't go wrong with a title like that!!
No more sweet music (2 discs double sided music one side videos on the other) was the last album they did. It is available as an import. Each CD has the same songs but mixed differently.

I love the first two albums, wasn't crazy about Tree. I can't find any other EPs in U.S. I was hoping Pandora would have them, but no such luck. I suppose I'll never know what the band does now.
They compare Hooverphonic to Jane Jensen and Poe? Wow!!!! But The Gathering? They are way too beautiful to rank with this band. Not that they're not good, just way different. Who can tell me about Woven and Broadcast?
Hey Pandora, this artist summary is a bit out of date. How's about adding in their great album "No More Sweet Music", released in 2004? "We All Float" is the greatest tune!!!
