The Euro Boys definitely have that European sound down pat -- maybe the fact that they're from Norway helps. Remember the band Ivy? Track #7, "Invisible Horse", has that same light and airy French pop feel; it's groovy and funky at the same time, and when the guitars kick in it's able to rock with best of the modern day pop stars. The mainly-instrumental CD sounds like a soundtrack to some Eurotrash film from the 60's. I can see the buxom beehived girl on screen now: every shake of the tambourine and puff into the flute helps to better visualize her knee high boots. The slap of the bass and pluck of the sitar solidify the image of a go-go girl shakin' her moneymaker to the retro tune of the Euro Boys.
