A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular is the debut studio album by the Belgian band Hooverphonic. The album was released by Columbia Records on 29 July 1996,[1] initially credited to the band's original name, Hoover. It is Hooverphonic's only album with lead singer Liesje Sadonius.
A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular produced the singles "Wardrope", "2Wicky", "Inhaler", and "Barabas". On 15 April 1997,[1][2] the album was released in the United States by Epic Records.[3] By June 1998, it had sold over 140,000 copies worldwide.[4]
In 2011, a deluxe edition of A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular was released as a box set including the original album on both CD and LP, two bonus CDs containing remixes and rarities from the era, artwork prints, and a book of essays by the members of Hooverphonic about the album.[5]
Composition
The song "2Wicky" samples Isaac Hayes' 1969 rendition of "Walk On By", as well as "Le Voile d'Orphée" by Pierre Henry.[6]
"Plus Profond" was reworked for A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular from its original version, which contained a sample that could not be cleared. This version would later be performed live by Hooverphonic on their New Stereophonic Spectacular tour in 2006,[7] and it was eventually released on the 2011 deluxe edition of A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular.[8]
