Hooverphonic - Tomorrow

Hooverphonic, a Belgian trip hop group that formed in 1995. They are one of the earliest bands that their music style is categorized as Trip Hop, therefore it makes them become the one of the icons of trip hop music just like the other band Massive Attack. The song that I am introducing today, Tomorrow, is a song from their double-disks album (No)More Sweet Music in 2005. The interesting thing about this double-disks album is each disk contains a different version of a same list of songs, the first disk is grander, which uses more classical instruments, whereas the second one is darker and uses more computer generated sounds for the songs. The video that shown below is a live version of the grander version, enjoy~

PS, the vocalist in this video had left the band since 2008

Sia - Academia

Sia Furler, aka Sia, is an Australian Singer-Songwriter. She has her own solo career but she is also a consist vocal provider for the famous UK downtempo music group Zero 7 . Its very hard to characterize Sia's music genre since it has a bit of everything (isn't it what the trend in music industry is right now) like jazz, trip hop, soul, rock...etc. The song I am introducing today, Academia, is from her forth solo album Some People Have real Problems, enjoy~
