 TOTALLY worth getting the deluxe edition March 16, 2006

Um, DAMN. I really enjoyed Goldfrapp's 1st album, Felt Mountain, which was ballsy in its baroque string arrangements, Alison's Shirley Bassey delivery, and its utter lack of caring whether or not it could be danced to. This is MUCH less innovative. So why do I love it so? It's one of the few albums in my entire collection that I could easily put on at a party and not ONE person would hate it, or want to change the disc. The last time that happened was probably Blowback by Alison's old friend Tricky. Anyone who buys a lot of electronic music knows this dilemma--YOU know how cool the album you just bought is, but people less cool than you think it sounds like Depeche Mode on ketamine. With Supernature, bliss will abound.
This is certainly one of the poppiest things I own, and yet also a satisfying, joyous, sexy listen, with NO WEAK TRACKS. The videos on the DVD are utterly worth it; Alison has developed an amazing stage presence and a totally playful and ironic way to project her sexuality. She's a dreamy and somewhat geeky sex symbol for smart boys. If you're straight, male, and have an IQ over 120, you WILL SWOON. You have been warned.
Perfect for fans of any form of contemporary or retro electronic music, provided their sense of fun outweighs the degree to which they take anything seriously. This is the sexiest, most debauched thing I've bought in, well, EVER.

Heralded as one of the best albums of 2005 and counting Madonna as a fan, Goldfrapp's third album is a radical departure from their debut and a natural extension of Black Cherry. While not as darkly ecletic as Felt Mountain, Supernature is still nonetheless a gem in its own right.
Fusing great dance and electronic elements together along with Will Gregory's trademark production, this is one hell of a dance record. There's the funky retro Ooh La La, the irresistable electro anthemn #1, and the poppy Ride A White Horse, all of which have been cleverly released as singles. Other great tracks include Slide In, Satin Chic and Lovely 2 CU. In fact, it's the album you pop into the CD player and you won't stop grooving until the end.
On the US edition, the track Beautiful is tagged along as a bonus. Beautiful sounds like it could have been on Black Cherry, a little chilling and atmospheric than most other tracks on Supernature.
The DVD companion on the Deluxe edition is something of a treat. Audiophiles get the 5.1 treatment of the album along with photos, videos and live footages. Not be missed is the teasing video of #1 featuring Alison Goldfrapp with her dog doc in the ops theater.
Not that America is going to warm up to any good dance records, but Goldfrapp's Supernature is a treat for anyone with a keen ear for good music.
Sheer Electro-Pop Perfection - Bye Bye Felt Mountain...Hello Supernature! March 11, 2006

For those who loved FELT MOUNTAIN, you'll be disappointed. For those who loved BLACK CHERRY, you'll be ticked pink. SUPERNATURE is the steroided-up for the U.S. market version of that import that came out last year, loaded with a BONUS DVD chock full of goodies, including an ultra-cool glimpse at Golfrapp's creative process (LITTLE BITS OF GOLDFRAPP) amidst the lush English countryside and lots of eye-popping, dead-cool videos, a wacky animated short film called JACKKO THE POET, etc. The album? If you've heard the pitch-perfect electro-glam-pop singles NUMBER 1 and OOH LA LA, you know what to expect: essentially, Alison has taken BLACK CHERRY's signature blend of electro-glam and tarted it up with traces of T. REX using cutting-edge technology as icing on the cake - it's a potent brew, indeed. While the slower tracks, LET IT TAKE YOU and TIME OUT FROM THE WORLD, offer a faint taste of the early mystique of FELT MOUNTAIN missing from most of the cuts here, Goldfrapp's uptempo grooves peer into the future while paying homage to the past - and who can argue with the sheer power, craft, and joy found in the cluch of singles (in addition to NUMBER 1 and OOH LA LA, there's also RIDE A WHITE HORSE and Japanese bonus track BEAUTIFUL) that really impress. Sure it's all a bit of a formula now and they might even be repeating themselves a tad, but if it ain't broken, why fix it? Bottom line: is there anyone as drop-dead cool as Alison Goldfrapp these days? This is the kind of pure pop perfection Madonna wishes she could create, but forgot how. When you combine the band's visual persona, the music, Alison's unique vocal instrument, and their overall total package, GOLDFRAPP is a force to be reckoned with - let's hope they finally have a massive breakthrough in America that they deserve it, finally showing all the other pop-pablum pretenders "how we do!"
 Good But Not Great, 3 1/2 Stars March 15, 2006

I originally purchased this album when it was released in the U.K. back in August of 2005. The U.K. edition contains only eleven songs and no bonus disc, and when I first listened to it I didn't really like it. I felt that the album was too short, Alison Goldfrapp's vocals were pretty but not stunning, and the lyrics lacked that unique, slightly twisted quality that was so much a part of Black Cherry and Felt Mountain. To me, Supernature is much less challenging and much more conventional than I had expected it would be, and while it is still not my favorite Goldfrapp album, I don't despise it quite as much as I used to. I don't think that Alison and Will intended Supernature to be the intellectual effort that was Felt Mountain or the sexual affair that was Black Cherry. It is an album that was inspired by glam rock and disco, and thus it is more playful and fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. Basically I was expecting substance and I got glamor instead, but the album has grown on me since then and it's not all bad. The inclusion of the bonus track "Beautiful" on the U.S. deluxe edition is a major improvement over the original release. The original release was too short and ended with "Number 1," one of the weaker tracks on the album in my opinion (why it was released as a single I'll never know). "Beautiful" closes the album with the bang that the U.K. edition was missing. The material on the DVD is all very good excluding the animated feature "Jaako and the Poet in Frappworld," which looks like it was created for and by a five-year-old. I do not think that Supernature is Goldfrapp's best work, however, it is glitzy, fun, danceable, and will undoubtedly initiate legions of new fans.
One of the best double dips yet! March 19, 2006

Importing this album at an earlier time, many Goldfrapp fans enjoyed what was and still is an immensely enjoyable album. In fact it's by far one of the best albums to be released over the past decade imo. Now just in time with the US release comes the DLX edition which is worth every pennie. Even for those who already own the album.
Besides the added bonus track "beautiful" which just makes the album that much sweeter, is the bonus DVD included. What makes this particular disc better than most is the enclusion of a DTS 5.1 mix of the entire album (excluding the bonus track). Considering most DTS mixes cost 2-3 times the price of this package, and don't sound anywhere near as good as this, it feels more like a reward and a thank you by the band for the fans. I encourage more bands to go to this effort in the future.
In the end for those who already own this album, do me a favor and give your copy to a friend and purchase this release. It's time to spread the word that Goldfrapp is the rebirth of true DIVA's like Shirley Manson and Madonna prior.
