"Fly Me Away" to ... Felt Mountain
When I was first introduced to this group I thought how amazing they were. You know I love Goldfrapp and that's why I was highly disappointed with this album. First there was "Felt Mountain" which I consider in my top five, a thoroughly amazing album! Ambient, Dark, weird with a touch of winter trip-hop. Then came "Black Cherry" a 180 degree turn from "Felt Mountain". It was everything that "Felt Mountain" was not - lustful, glam, with a touch of 80's Electo-rock. A fantastic album in it self, though not as brilliant as "Felt Mountain".

"Supernature" - Goldfrapp's Pop Hour. This album I like to think of as "Black Cherry" part 2 or a lesser version of that album. Moving towards dance remix land and pop. This album sits on the edge of alternative and mainstream. Much too polished and not interesting enough to keep you sticking around.

Sadly this is a throw-away album from a fantastic band.


I love the disparities....

. Allison sitting looking cold on a pile of rotting wood, looking like she had been crawling around on the ground, in a TOTALLY unhip pair of rubber galoshes and earmuffs. . . and then next be in a pair of 7" heeled platform shoes or tight shiney skirt and full make-up the next night.
Only in the EU-here-the 'hip' wouldnt get caught dead in such clothing -much less being out in nature-its just not "WITH-IT" or cool!
On the felt Mountain insert she looks sexy even in her camping gear
from cool smoky caberat-to the dancefloor to peace and love in the woods

The woman is a genius.


Really Fantastic!
Alot of people are giving this low ratings, and I can understand why. compared to Goldfrapp's last 2 albums, this one doesn't quite live up. It's like a watered down Black Cherry, but if you put this album against anything else besides a Goldfrapp album, it would have 5/5 stars. The album is filled with great pop songs that you can listen to all the way through. It isn't dreary, surreal, and atmospheric like Felt Mountain, nor is it raw & rough like Black Cherry. It's just a pure pop album. Basically, it is Goldfrapp's Kylie album. Just good, fun dancing music. You can't go wrong with that!

Highlights for me include: You Never Know, Let It Take You, Satin Chic, & Number 1.

They are currently working on their 4th album which is due for release in late 2007. Rumors have it that it will be a completely different style from the trip-hoppy Felt Mountain, the industrial Black Cherry, and the disco Supernature. I'm quite excited!! Keep your eyelids peeled back with some superglue, they're on their way!.


Goldfrapp has sold out?
OMG, this is just about the most furthest thing from her first album as one can possibly get. Dah! What a little sell out she is. I feel like she pivoted fan against fan, and the only fans who know anything about good music would be on my side (the one star side). This album sucks! lame, lame, lame. Total disco sludge. .


Disappointed
After all, Goldfrapp's last album Black Cherry is so good I can't help but drag it out of the CD case at least once every couple of months but instead of taking the brilliance of that last album and moving forward instead it's like they just stopped progressing or even worse regressed a little. I wanted to love this album I really did. "Ooh La La" opens the album in a fairly promising way but after that it all becomes a bit samey; the highlight to me is the raunchy-ish sounding (in title and music) "Ride The White Horse" but the lyrics aren't exactly what I thought they'd be. The problem with Supernature isn't that it isn't a good album, because it is, but it's not anywhere near as good as the last album. Where "Strict Machine", "Train" and "Twist" from Black Cherry are practically this millenium's dance anthems, everything off of Supernature just falls flat compared. If you are looking for some Goldfrapp my advice is to avoid this and get your sweaty dancy hands on Black Cherry because that album doesn't disappoint in the way Supernature does.
