Eiffel 65

Eiffel 65's Europop CD has some great tunes. Jeffery Jey's vocals are strong, the technical skill of Maurizio Lobina on keyboard/programming and Gabry Ponte as DJ/mixing have produced one of the best technopop compilations I've run across. This album is nearly unequaled in being the best CD to drop in the slot when you have to drive the car fast and far. Previously the Doobie Brothers "Taking it to the Streets" got me there quickest, but this is better. All the tracks are good, "Too Much of Heaven" brings a little rap flavor, "Your Clown" breaks the pace, "Living in a Bubble" does some synth strings, "Move your Body" certainly has other applications other than driving the car. P L A Y S T A T I O N. Actually I've been to "The Edge" and this is a great toe tapper. There's content in the lyrics, no whining a la grunge and besides, I'm "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". A great mix that breaks up the tempo, but will keep you moving. Check it out. Of course, maybe they just move at the same pace as my heartbeat.

Eiffel 65 are absolutely terrible and are tools of satan.
They are, for starters, quite obviously - in it for the money. That is wrong in the music world. Completely wrong. And very, very, evil.
They are an embarrasment to anyone who has ever listened to any electronic music and they should be banned from writing more before someone bans them with a shotgun.
They are also an embarrasment to anyone who has ever seen a music video and the people who designed their music video should have their license revoked (a license should be a legal neccessity to create a music video these days, it's only common sense). I've seen the video clips for "blue" and their other song which made it .. big .. (which sounded and looked EXACTLY like blue "I can't believe it's not blue") and they are both horrendous.
They pretend to be interested in net culture.
Unfortunately for them, anyone who is actually interested in this can tell in an instant who is lying and who is actually into it.
They are lying.
They are trying to exploit a reasonably untapped by exploitation section of the music buying market.
