I was astonished by this album from Goldfrapp. Their previous and first album, "Felt Mountain", was really spiritual and suddenly they release a Dance/IDM album. Kinda weird. But this is not a problem, really because the band managed to do a great record. Not as good as "Felt Mountain", but still great. Standout tracks: "Black Cherry", "Deep Honey", "Strict Machine" and "Slippage".

Really the best of all 4 of their albums released so far, touches of Felt Mountain, mixed with some great dance tracks. Its a shame this is the lowest ranked album of theirs that is recorded on metacritic because it really deserves more praise then supernature and seventh tree at the very least.

"You give me this love". Many thought that with the abrupt switch from the trip-hop/chillout debut to this electronically fashioned sophomore album, that Goldfrapp as we knew it would fade away. It didn't. 'Crystalline Green' is exciting, luring you into Black Cherry, an amazing journey. 'Train' becomes the hit, with its bourgeoisie taste and style. 'Black Cherry' is the melancholy ballad of a love lost, an obvious favourite. 'Tiptoe' points out the sexuality of the album, sowing how sexy music can become. 'Deep Honey' and 'Hairy Trees' are the chillout songs of the album, both superb with their quirky hooks and sexual lyrics. 'Twist' is the infamous single about cunnilingus and 'Strict Machine' became the single of the year. 'Slippage' is the closing track, marking te end of one of my favourite albums of all time. Alas, the b-sides of the singles are just amazing. Beautiful, Stunning and Sexual are the beest ways to describe this electro-magic.

I got this after hearing Goldfrapp by accident on Jules Holland. Hated it the first time I heard it but now think it's the best album ever!
