Domestic release features an exclusive bonus disc with remixes of "Blue" and "Move Your Body" as well as CD-Rom videos for these two songs and a Nick Skitz Megamix. Europop album
The title of this debut says a lot, but not all, about the Italian dancy pop trio Eiffel 65. These boys have obviously listened to a lot of Yaz, early Depeche, and New Order. Lead singer Jeffrey Jey's voice, when it's not being run through a vocoder Roger Troutman-style, owes a lot to Simon LeBon. Moreover, the music is given the ultra-produced, pulsating beats-and-bleats treatment of all those faceless European dance outfits of the '90s. There's even a touch of that post-romantic soul a la Spandau Ballet or the Blow Monkeys. Eiffel 65 took over the Eurodance scene with the infectious single "Blue (Da Ba Dee)," an eminently likable tune around which this album is crafted.
Eiffel 65 proves that it is capable of at least one more wicked hook with the sugary "Too Much of Heaven. " The album's true find is the orchestral "Living in a Bubble," which balances the sing-song rap styles of oh, say 1992, with a captivating musical loop reminiscent of P. M. Dawn meets the Soup Dragons. EUROPOP is more than just that, an appealing debut by a group that joins artists such as Les Ryhthmes Digitales and Alex Gopher in mining the '80s for dance nuggets.

Rolling Stone (3/2/00, p. 92) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Far more New Wave-influenced than their diva-helmed Eurodance peers [they] flaunt contemporary electronica gurgles while bringing back 80s-style melodic melodrama.... EUROPOP is the sound of the rest of the world. "
