4.0 out of 5 stars Good sophomore album from Eiffel..., October 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Contact (Audio CD)

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.

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!"

I remember when Europop first came out. I told all my friends I could not wait for E65 to come out with a second album. After a year I got tired of the Europop CD, and put it away. I rediscovered it about 3 weeks ago and have not been able to put it away! I searched amazon, and what do you know! I could never find the second album because it isn't in America! I bought ContAct! off amazon by a seller because I was not sure if I wanted to pay over 20$ for a cd I was not sure about. As most know, not ALL the songs on Europop are the best. So I was sceptic about this CD, wondering if it was going to be a repeit of Europop. How more wrong could I be? The depth of the songs are much deeper. The techno and beats are amazing! The singing is fantastic! Less vocoder, but it sounds beautiful. I have to admit, when I first put this CD in my computer to listen to it, I was at first dissapointed. I was hopeing for songs that would instantly catch my attention and I'd be like "Omg I love this song I can't live with out it!" but only a few showed up (Lucky in my life, World in the world, Dj with the fire, and Kind of luliby). The second time I listen to the CD I totaly was into each and every song and they got me dancing. The songs need to grow on you I guess. I can't live with out any of them. I love them all. There is not ONE SONG on this CD I do not like. Every Single one is just as good as the one before it. This CD is highly recommended! For all E65 Fans, Dance fans, Music fans in general! Stop reading this and buy it, now!!!
