Is Hooverphonic electronica/trance music? If it is, I might check it out.
Erm...I'm listening to Beethoven's "little symphony" - the Eighth, as performed by the Berlin Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan in their 1977 version. I consider this the most exhilarating performance of the Eighth on record. No other versions I've heard over the years has come close to the intensity of Karajan and the Berliners in this performance - not even the best period instrument versions that I've heard.
What are you listening to?

A friend of mine described it as "Enigma-ish only better". The Sit Down and listen To album is a lot of just vocal, piano and strings. You might like it. 
I love it. I'm swatting for the Elton John Concert I am attending with Seasis in December. So I'm listening to "Carla etude/Tonight". The intro to this is magical (!) and the song itself is probably my favorite EJ song.

I'm a huge Queen fan, but I find their albums to be highly uneven. ANatO is a pretty good one though. I think A Kind of Magic is their best, followed closely by The Miracle.
