Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Black Cherry Comment: BLACK CHERRY is one of those rare albums where I initially didn't care for it but later on in life loves it. I first discovered Golfrapp through television. FELT MOUNTAIN is one of my personal favorite trip hop albums of all time. I loved the lush, orchestral melodies of the album. So when the time came for Goldfrapp to release their follow up album BLACK CHERRY, I wasn't too keen on the group's sudden change in their sound from trip hop to electro-clash. After falling in love with the group's music again with SEVENTH TREE, I decided to check out BLACK CHERRY again. This time time around I have learned to appreciate and love BLACK CHERRY. BC is definitely a precursor to their next album SUPERNATURE with their mix of catchy electro-pop songs as well as SEVENTH TREE with the more laid back trip hop songs. I am particularly fond of the more upbeat tracks like "Train" and "Twist". I love the slinky synth beats. As much as I like the slower paced songs on the album like the title track, the more uptempo tracks are my personal favorite. Overall I am glad that I re-discovered BLACK CHERRY. If you loved SUPERNATURE, you will definitely like BLACK CHERRY. Customer Rating: Summary: Enhanced Comment: There is plenty of sex in pop, but precious little sensuality. After a few years in the shadows as a guest vocalist for the likes of Orbital and Tricky, Alison Goldfrapp (aided by collaborator Will Gregory) emerged to remedy that shortage with a cocktail of ripe carnality and sinister beauty. The duo's albums, Felt Mountain and Black Cherry, are exotic middle-European fantasias co-scripted by Christopher Isherwood and Hans Christian Andersen: music for black forests and red light districts. ENHANCED. Added to your discotheque! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Listen Comment: Great Listen. Great beat. Great CD. There is really nothing left to say! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Buy Comment: I first heard Goldfrapp a month ago on Pandora and noted that various good songs had all been by Allison Goldfrapp. After the sixth or seventh one I found three CD's online with the songs I liked and bought Black Cherry, Supernature and Felt Mountain which are all amazing. Black Cherry and Supernature have high energy songs as well as some sweet, softer melodies while Felt Mountain has more intense, yet oddly mellow songs like Lovely Head, Utopia and Horse Tears. Totally worth the buy. Customer Rating: Summary: Disciplined lipstick electronic excellence Comment: There's a form of OCD that must weave its way through the DNA of all electronic trip hop music artists. It's a fusion of shiny black latex and cold chrome that sets the pace and the mood, but never let's you inside. Tracks like "Strict Machine" are flawless in their precision and executed with glorious attention to detail. It's an certain and unique art to be able to cunstruct something with the perfect symmetry of Goldfrapp's sound. If you need that restraint, that seamless wall of beauty without warmth, this is a killer album. When its over, you're a little numb, but certain that you got your m oney's worth. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 2003 album follows their debut Felt Mountain, Black Cherry is a Moroder meets Morricone affair, sexually explicit with a dancefloor electro flavor. 10 tracks. Mute.
