4.0 out of 5 stars
Good sophomore album from Eiffel..., October 31, 2001
By A Customer
I was rather surprised to find that Eiffel 65 had made a second album...this CD has gotten no attention here in the States, and I'm not aware of any plans for a stateside release in the near future, either. That's a shame, because Contact is just as good as Europop.My biggest complaint upon listening through is that there weren't any immediately great songs like Blue. The first single, Lucky in My Life, isn't even one of the better tracks in my opinion. But Europop only had one hit single, and I liked the whole CD anyway, so the lack of a huge single doesn't ruin this for me. It could kill sales of the CD, though, especially in a music scene that is already overrun with similar dance and electronic musicians. Eiffel 65's sound isn't hugely different from their first album. The effects-laden vocals and snappy synth lines that defined their sound are still present, but there are also a few moments of a more mature sound, such as the chanting intro to King of Lullaby, which reminds me more of ambient music than dance. As with Europop, the songs tend to drag on far too long (the CD checks in at a hefty 73 minutes), but the 17 songs are all distinct and offer a nice mix of upbeat and happy music and slower, melancholy songs. The lyrics aren't really the focus here, and they tend to be repetitive, but the songwriting does seem more mature than on Europop. There's nothing like that atrocious tribute to Playstation this time around. If you're a fan of Eiffel's music, try to get an import copy of this CD...it's surprisngly affordable here on Amazon, and this CD is unlikely to reach American shores.

This album ROCKS ... 110 Percent!!, December 11, 2001
If you've listened to Eiffel 65 or haven't ... you should definitley pick up this album because the songs on here are
amazing. Lets just say I went out to get this cd, listened
to it and as I listen to it more, totally grows on me!
I've listened to it so much, the songs are just great.
One of the type's of music, I would never get sick.
Sorry to say but I think Euro-Dance is way better then
some American music like Britney or N-Sync(...)!
Not to offend any Americans, I don't think
American music is the best plus it's more rock orientated
compared to the variety of music you can get in Europe.
There are fast, slow and songs with an awesome beat!
I recommend: Lucky (In my life), New Life, I Dj with the fire,
Crazy, Morning Time, Life like thunder, losing you, Journey
and World in the world. So if you want some different dance
music, with great style... go pick up Contact, you won't regret
it!

They've done it again!, April 2, 2002
If someone told me to choose between "EuroPop" and "Contact", I wouldn't be able to decide on which one is better. They are both great.
The only bad thing about this cd is that it will not work on computers. Seems that they can't protect CD against MP3 makers and ditributors, so they decided not to let people listen it on computers at all. Bright people, aren't they? HA! Let's thank BMG for that. ALL TOGETHER:
"THANK YOU BMG!"
