Eiffel 65's infectious club stylings on
Contact are as catchy as their breakthrough album,
Europop. The vocoder is still in place on songs like the funky gloss of "Lucky (In My Life)" and the hypnotic spacescapes of "Crazy" and "I DJ With the Fire." "Life Like Thunder" is ultra-hip with its disco beats and fashionable Euro-dance hooks. However, the blazing trance loops on "People of Tomorrow" showcase
Eiffel 65's undeniable star power. Their sound isn't intricate, elegant, or sophisticated, but it's loose enough for clubland.
Contact is a party album more than anything -- nothing to be taken seriously.
