Eiffel 65 chronology
Europop (1999) Contact! (2001) Eiffel 65 (2003)

Contact! is the second album by Eiffel 65, released in 2001. The album's sound is much different from the group's 1999 debut Europop, taking influence from French house à la Daft Punk. It also incorporates synthpop elements. It also has a more upbeat, popular feel than Europop has. However, the harder and more metallic eurodance sound of their earlier work occasionally shines through on some certain tracks.
