Bloom 06 were an Italian electronic dance music group, composed of two of the original three members of Eiffel 65, another group who compose different types of music ranging from electropop to mellowed rock. They have released two albums, Crash Test 01, Crash Test 02, and two remix EPs, Club Test 01 and Club Test 02. They have also released five singles.
The original group, Eiffel 65, has reformed as of June 2010.
Shortly after the departure of Gabry Ponte from Eiffel 65, due to a desire to begin a project of his own, Maurizio (Maury) Lobina (born on 1973 in Asti, Italy) and Gianfranco (Jeffrey) Randone officially announced, on 15 June 2005, that they had permanently put the name Eiffel 65 behind them and they were ready to begin a new chapter in their artistic careers, releasing their current work under a new name which they had chosen as Bloom 06. The duo also confirmed that their debut album Crash Test 01 would be released on their brand new label Blue Boys, which would subsequently be distributed by Universal Italy in Fall of 2006. Through a press release published on a new Web domain, the Bloom 06 boys explained:
You were sleeping on a side walk
living on a road
living on a road
thats from where you started
dont forget that hunger
cause that road
is the way back home
You were fighting for a sidewalk
that you called your own
that you called your own
You got all the money
but you are no longer
living in
living in
In the City
where the lights were just
bright enough
and the walls and the smells always kept you
on the ground
on the ground
In the city
with nothing to lose
and hoping to win
you were living in, living in, living
In the city
Lots of people from the sidewalk
are in the hall of fame
in the hall of fame.
Theyve never forgotten
where they all got started
cause they know
its the way back home
You were dreaming on the sidewalk
fighting for your name
fighting for your name
You got all the money
but you are no longer
living in
living in
In the City
where the lights were just
bright enough
and the walls and the smells always kept you
on the ground
on the ground
In the city
with nothing to lose
and hoping to win
you were living in, living in, living
In the city
