by the Belgian
band Hooverphonic

The title track "No More Sweet Music" contains samples from the Henry Mancini
penned "Lujon" from the album "Mr. Lucky Goes Latin".

Hooverphonic's main composer and programmer Alex Callier composed 40 tracks for No More Sweet Music. The 11 selected were not necessarily the best but were selected because they worked well together.
Some of the remaining tracks were used in their 2007 album, The President of the LSD Golf Club
