This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
If you’ve been within 50 yards of top 40 radio or a nightclub dance floor lately, you can’t have avoided hearing Eiffel 65’s infectious Blue (Da Ba Dee), whose lightly pumping disco backbeat and Cher-style voice-box chorus have made it a worldwide hit.
To strike while the Eiffel is hot, so to speak, the Italian studio quartet that created the track have rush-released this full-length to market. Should you bite? Well, Europop certainly lives up to its name; these baker’s dozen tracks offer a never-ending supply of thumping rhythms, synth melodies and extended dance mixes. Sadly, it’s also a never-changing supply — all these tracks are virtually identical, right down to the voice-box effect, which becomes pretty damn annoying by about song 7 or so. Eiffel 65? Try Eiffel One-Hit-Wonder.
