''The President of the LSD Golf Club'' is the sixth studio album by the Belgian band Hooverphonic. The title ''The President of the LSD Golf Club'' was originally intended for The Magnificent Tree, but the title was not allowed by Sony, Hooverphonic's label at the time. 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" also have more of a traditional rock sound, compared to the sound of earlier Hooverphonic work. Critics were divided on the album, some claiming it grounded Hooverphonic after the mystery of ''The Magnificent Tree'', while others claimed that it was the most "daring and experimental Hooverphonic album"〔(Hooverphonic : PRESIDENT OF THE LSD GOLF CLUB, THE )〕 yet. In some countries (like France, Italy, Sweden and Spain), and on iTunes, the album received a special edition release which included "The Perfect Dose". ==Singles== The first single from the album was "Expedition Impossible"〔(Hooverphonic - Expedition Impossible (CD, Maxi) at Discogs )〕 with the B-sides "Pink Flamingo Dream" and "August". It was released in September 2007 in the Netherlands and Belgium and January 2008 worldwide. It was also the first Hooverphonic single to get a complete international release on iTunes. The second single was announced in late October 2007 as ''Gentle Storm''.〔(Hooverphonic - Gentle Storm (CD, Maxi) at Discogs )〕 The b-side to the single, "''The Perfect Dose''", was also released on iTunes as a download single. The third single ''Circles''〔(Hooverphonic - Circles (CD, Maxi) at Discogs )〕 was released in February 2008. The song was remixed for the single release and included B-side ''Cry'' (a cover from a song by Godley & Creme, released in 1985). The song ''50 Watt''〔(dutchcharts.nl - Hooverphonic - 50 Watt )〕 was released as a radio-only single in Belgium in early 2008 along with a cover of Nirvana's ''In Bloom''. ;Charts 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The President of the LSD Golf Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
