In 1996, the band started as a studio-project of 3 young, talented producers: Regi Penxten, Ivo Donckers & Filip Vandueren and released an EP on the underground label of Dance Opera.
In 1997, the song La Vache reaching #21 in UK (although completely unnoticed in their homeland Belgium), started it all. Because of the huge success of this song in France, the French label Hottracks of Scorpio Music released the song under the group name "La Vache", so people could remember it. The vocals were done by Jade 4 U (aka Nikkie Van Lierop). In October 1997, the single Free Your Mind followed.
In February 1998, and still under the name "La Vache" and with the new vocalist Ann Vervoort, the single Inside Of Me was released followed by the album Apocalypse Cow in March and the huge hit In My Eyes in December. "In My Eyes" climbed the Belgian charts quickly and reached #2 though it did not find any success in France and it was the last release in France for Milk Inc. At this point, the band name were changed to be "Milk Inc.".
In April 1999, in Belgium, the single Promise was released and reached #3 on the Belgian charts. The Belgian version of the album Apocalypse Cow came out in May, more than a year later than the French release.
In April 2000, the new single Walk On Water was released and reached #1 on the Belgian charts. In September, Ann Vervoort left Milk Inc. to start her own record label. She was replaced by Linda Mertens. In November, the album Land Of The Living was released. The first single was Livin' a Lie.
In 2001, Never Again was the next single to be released (reached #17 on the Belgian charts). The follow up was named Wide Awake (reached #2 on the Belgian charts).
In 2002, the next song was named Sleepwalker(reached #6 on the Belgian charts). The follow-up was entitled Breathe Without You and it was out on October (reached #7 on the Belgian charts).
In May 2003, their new single called Time was out (reached #10 on the Belgian charts). In August, they announced they would make a cover of a song from The Sun Always Shines On TV. The videoclip was shot in France on the 14th September (reached #5 on the Belgian charts). In October, their brand new album Closer was released. It contained 14 songs including I Don't Care; a duet between Linda and Silvy de Bie (from Sylver). Blown Away was the only instrumental song on this album. Regi appeared for the first time on a Milk Inc. song singing a ballad with Linda in the last track Maybe. In November, Milk Inc. performed in Poland.
In 2004, the new single from Milk Inc. was I Don't Care. The video was shot at Club Atmoz at Hasselt. The new single jumped to #3 in the Belgian charts at the end of March. The follow-up was entitled Whisper, and in October it peaked to #1 in Belgium. The same month, Milk Inc. released their first DVD in Australia. It contained 18 videos, as well as an acoustic set of 5 songs (I Don't Care, Oceans, Walk On Water, Don't Cry and Maybe, recorded especially for this occasion) and a few extras.
In May 2005, Milk Inc's new single was entitled Blind (reached #5 on the Belgian charts). The video was recorded on the 14th of April. It peaked up to #5 in Belgium. In September, Regi released a solo single entitled No Music. It went directly #16 in the Belgian charts. The following month, Go To Hell was released (reached #4 on the Belgian charts).
In May 2006, the new single Tainted Love (a cover version of the famous hit) was released (reached #7 on the Belgian charts). The fourth album Supersized was out in September. It was called after the mega-concert at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. It included the hit songs Whisper, Blind, Go To Hell, Tainted Love, and 8 brand new songs + 1 bonus song. The next single was Run (reached #7 on the Belgian charts). The next Milk Inc. single was No Angel. The video clip was shot live during Milk Inc. Supersized concert.
In 2007, they earned a golden record for their album Supersized. Milk Inc left their former records company to enter ARS. Their new single Sunrise was out on the 22nd of June. Milk Inc.'s latest single Tonight is still charting very well. It peaked at #6 so far.
Milk Inc. effectively ceased to exist around the mid 2010s.

Milk Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Six o'clock in the morning,
A plane just touched the ground.
My body is here but my heart stays there,
'cause it knows what I've found.
Eight o'clock in the morning,
The city hides her lonely tears,
'cause it knows what I've found.
Oceans apart,
I'm still thinking of you,
Tears in my heart,
All my dreams up torn in two.
Eight o'clock in the evening,
the phone just lies around.
Friends they come and understand,
'cause they know what I've found.
It's two after midnight
I'm woken by a sound.
I look outside there's no one there,
that knows just what I've found.
Oceans apart,
I'm still thinking of you,
Tears in my heart,
All my dreams up torn in two.
As the sun touches the ocean,
I know it touches you.
As clouds embrace the moonlight,
I still think of you.
(x2)
I still think of you...
I still think of you...
The song "Oceans" by Milk Inc. is a ballad that paints a picture of a love that transcends distance and time. The singer wakes up in a new place, but their heart remains with their lover who is oceans apart. The lyrics are about the struggle of a long-distance relationship and the emotional toll that the distance creates. The pain of being away from someone you love, missing them and the longing to be together is what the singer feels throughout the song. The time intervals mentioned in the song suggest that the singer is awake and has trouble sleeping due to the thoughts about their love interest.
The line "The city hides her lonely tears, 'cause it knows what I've found" suggests that the city keeps the singer's sorrow a secret, and the singer believes that the city is empathetic of his/her situation. The last two lines of the lyrics “As the sun touches the ocean, I know it touches you. As clouds embrace the moonlight, I still think of you” imply that even though they are oceans apart, they share the same experiences and that they still keep each other in their thoughts.
Overall, the song Ocean by Milk Inc. is a poignant testament to the strength of love over distance and the emotional turmoil that long-distance relationships can cause.
