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.
"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Eiffel 65: Gianfranco Randone (vocals); Maurizio Lobina (keyboards); Gabry Ponte (DJ).
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."

| | Gigolo Aunts Pacific Ocean Blues CD (2002)
Europop music CDs
$12.65 The last two Gigolo Aunts albums were each '90s power pop classics but sat at extreme opposite ends of the pop spectrum. Flippin' Out, with its unruly solos, closely resembled hard rock and grunge, while the adult contemporary trappings of Minor Chords and Major Themes bore more of a resemblance to Fleetwood Mac than Big Star. Fans were often divided, then, when discussing which Gigolo Aunts was better: the rock band or the pop band, and since there was so little middle ground in the two releases it was easy to pick favorites. But after another label shuffle and a three-year absence, the (initially) import-only Pacific Ocean Blues is the closest thing to a "definitive" album that the Gigolo Aunts have ever released. The smooth production values of the last album still reign here, but the band doesn't hesitate to rock out a lot more, which produces some of the band's most memorable material. Specifically, "Let Go!" is easily the most infectious and immediate song in the Gigolo Aunts' cannon -- while it runs for just over five minutes, the song packs in two fantastic, flashy guitar solos and a killer horn-inflected chorus. And on the more "adult" side, "Even Though (The One Before the Last)" tops nearly all of the mid-tempo material on the last album. This is still not the album to start with -- Flippin' Out is really a power pop classic of its time and is where any beginner should look -- but anyone paying attention to the scattershot career of this formerly Boston-based band will find that Pacific Ocean Blues, by tying up the band's stylistic loose ends, is possibly the Gigolo Aunts' most consistent listen. ~ Jason Damas
