Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

From Amazon.co.uk Review

With their Black Cherry album, the duo of vocalist Alison Goldfrapp and composer Will Gregory moved emphatically away from the folky, filmic forays of their debut Felt Mountain to explore edgier, sexier themes. Supernature, their third long-player, continues to probe this more "adult" world, lashing together lascivious electro, cascading synths and the exhumed spirits of artists like Gary Numan and Giorgio Moroder. Lead single "Ooh La La", with its cosmetic sheen and hedonistic pop feel, is a good indicator for the rest of the album. The aphotic, flirtatious pulse of tracks like "Ride A White Horse" and "Koko" contrast subtly with spectral dream-pieces such as "Let It Take U" and "U Never Know", while Goldfrapp’s vocals--dripping here with a digitized sensuality--and Gregory’s arching soundscapes provide textural continuity. Occasionally vampish and consistently visceral, this is a classy excursion into Goldfrappian gothic dance-pop.

We recently saw Goldfrapp at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

This band is outstanding in concert. From their first release in 2000 (Utopia)
they just keep evolving. Getting better and better.

"SuperNature" is the follow - up to "Black Cherry". Allison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory found a GREAT synth-pop sound with that album that I can't get enough of. With "Supernature", they've found a formula that works, and BOY do they stick with it! You can paralell almost every song on here with a similar song on "Black Cherry". I was expecting a bit more growth in musical style, unfortunately. Still, if you like this album, you'll like "Black Cherry" as well, and vice versa. It's not like this is sitting on my shelf gathering dust!

One last thing: Allison, dear, you are beautiful, have a terrific voice and have developed a great visual look to your group, but for your next album PLEASE HIRE A LYRICIST! The poor attempts at forced rhymes often make me wince. "Winnebego" and "Rabbit Stew" should never be used in any songs (unless you're into that country crap)!

I heard some of the music on the TV show The L Word, and had never heard of this group before. I decided it was time to add them to my every growing collection of CD's. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is one depressing song that almost puts me to sleep. I prefer a more upbeat collection. Good all around music.

A total sell out album. Felt Moauntain is by far the best Goldfrapp album. Thisn album sucks.

Not the best CD purchase I've ever made, but certainly not the worst.
It's great driving music, that is why it is in my car and not my home.
