On the wings of the hit club single "Blue (Da Ba Dee)," the Italian group Eiffel 65's Europop has soared into the ever-fleeting good graces of the dance-pop scene. The song is "a story about a little guy who lives in a blue world," and while it seems that the color of the fella's life was chosen arbitrarily, the real star of this tune is the vocoder effect reintroduced on Cher's megahit single "Believe." Listen to the entire record, though, and you'll hear this gimmick on almost all of the rest of the tracks as well. On first run-through, the one-trick-pony-ness of this effect is off-putting, and yet it is the album's one distinctive element. The songs on Europop live up to the album's broad moniker, skimming the basics of tried-and-true dance-pop ("Living in a Bubble," "Now Is Forever"), techno ("Dub in Life," "Another Race"), and acid house ("Europop"). The group even renders a fairly accurate impression of Depeche Mode-style goth-pop ("Your Clown"). But the tracks rarely deviate from a four-on-the-floor thud, numbing the ears to the songs' otherwise distinguishable qualities. The record is too hard to swallow in one bite; its tracks are much tastier as singles, serving well in a club setting as segues to stronger songs by other artists. --Beth Massa

Some Fun.......2007-04-19
"My Console", (though a bit dated now with PS3 out), should appeal to any Playstation addict out there. Surprisingly, I though "Blue" was not the best song on the CD. "Dub in Life", "Move Your Body", and "Another Race" all sounded better to me. One of my personal favourites is "Now Is Forever", which is a bit slower than the others, but still pretty cool.
On the balance of it, this is not a bad CD. It is not brilliance, but it is a fun and catchy collection of songs.
Excellent product condition. On-time delivery........2007-04-12
NOT A KID THE BEST FREAKIN ALBUM EVER MADE!.......2007-03-23
One good song and nothing else.......2007-03-17
Fun and more than just Blue.......2007-02-11
So I bought the CD for two songs. What I got was a dozen other great songs! The songs are well composed...
Ok, I don't really know why I like this CD so much, but I do. As do my kids. Friends have laughed at me when they see this CD, but as soon as I play it they're singing right along...

oooh la la! downtempo sexy.......2005-03-10
* Lola Dutronic is the ultimate culmination of every 60s Euro girl singer and/or icon that we've ever admired; Diana Rigg, Barbarella, Lady Penelope (Thunderbirds), Monica Vitti, Jane Birkin, Dusty Springfield, you get the idea....
* Electronic pop covers of The Monkees, Lulu, Sylvie Vartan, Francoise Hardy and even a Serge Gainsbourg/Air style revamp of the classic "Walking On Sunshine" (a must hear!)
* For DJs, pop fans, chillout fans, and anyone searching out fresh beats for the club floor... the world of Lola Dutronic is here and waiting for you! We are servicing radio & DJs.
* This is a bilingual album.
She's sexy. She's French. She's electronic.
Lola Dutronic. Euro chill electronic meets 60s Gainsbourg pop with English and French vocals.
An innovative new sound created by Remixer/Producer Richard Citroen and vocalist Frankie (Francoise) Hart.
The project came about when Ralph Alfonso of Bongo Beat Records commissioned Richard to create a "Walking On Sunshine" remix for his Katrina & The Waves compilation. As work progressed, it made more sense to bring in a vocalist and create a new track from scratch.... the results were so impressive, that an entire album's worth of material was quickly asked for, and here it is. It is a well crafted loving homage to classic pop sounds and the astute 60s pop culture enthusiast will note the many references to treasured touchstones of the era.
In addition to orginal material, there are exceptional treatments of "The Porpoise Song" by The Monkees, "Ma Jeunesse Fout Le Camp" (Francoise Hardy), "To Sir With Love" (Lulu), "La Fin de L'été" (Brigitte Bardot) and "La Maritza" (Sylvie Vartan). CD has bilingual sticker!!
Toronto based Richard Citroen has collaborated with Paul Hyde (the recent Canadian hit "I Want You/Remix"), Holly Cole, DJ Chris Sheppard, DJ Dante, DJ Terry Kelly (Top Kat), Pobi, and The Blow Up, amongst others. In his rock and roll past, he's performed/recorded with The Diodes, Eric Debris (Metal Urbain), Forgotten Rebels, and Simply Saucer.
Vocalist Frankie Hart is a respected session singer and this project brought her back in touch with her French heritage and inspired her to contribute French lyrics as well.

If you are an Eiffel 65 fan, or just enjoy their music, I recommend this set. But don't expect all of the songs to be "Top 100"s.
