Not Quite Eiffel 65, February 19, 2010
This review is from: Swipe Me (Audio CD)
I found the Barcode Brothers by searching for "Flute" youTube videos not too long ago. (I play the flute, so I was just curious what was out there.) Anyway - their song "Flute" was one of the first search results, so of course I listened. And I completely fell in love with the song. There really is nothing else out there that matches it. You're tricked into thinking it's just another techno/trance song - and then, a beautiful, upbeat and melodic pan flute comes out of nowhere. This song is by far, my favorite on the CD.
Luckily, they had snagged my interest enough that I got the CD. I was somewhat disappointed to find that "Flute" was the only song with the pan flute in it, but none-the-less I still enjoy the CD. They have a couple songs that do make me think a lot of Eiffel 65 - very poppy and (as someone else said) "bubbly."
All I can think about when I listen to the song "Dooh Dooh" is Homer from The Simpsons repeatedly going D'OH! I still find myself constantly listening to it anyway though... "Tele" brings a lot of unique sound to it - there is a repeated water droplet noise that intrigues me. I really like the ambiance of "Ambient"... (I know, lame, but its true).
Those are the tracks that stand out the most to me. There are a couple songs that have a female singing - it reminds me more of typical techno music, but doesn't bother me. Also, I enjoy the way the CD is laid out with an intro, three interludes, and an outro - it helps divide it up nicely.
I wish more of their songs brought unique aspects to them - but overall a really solid CD that I'd definitely recommend.

It's worth the $$$, September 3, 2003
This review is from: Swipe Me (Audio CD)
I decided it was time...after a year to rate this...
I give this a 4 star rating because I am sick of It's a Fine Day and someone redoing the song after just a few years just bugs me. All the little tracks are quite fun. Gotta love the baby laughing....once you buy it you will see!! SMS rocks...in a Eiffel 65 sort of way.
I say go for it if you want a CD that is upbeat and very bubbleeeee!!!
