'Black Cherry', Goldfrapps second release still builds on their trademark experimental edges and that awesome force is every bit as evident and not a shred less relevant. From the heartbroken beauty of the title track and the inordinately sensual, disturbed purr of 'Deep Honey' to the sonic whirlpools of 'Tiptoe', 'Black Cherry' reinforces Goldfrapp's siren-like ability to suck you into other realms. On first hearing, the driving basslines of 'Train' or 'Strict Machine', or the playfully, joyously sexual 'Twist' seem a world away from some of 'Felt Mountain's' atmospherics but anyone who witnessed the energy and potent intensity of last year's live shows would recognise the feeling behind them.
'Black Cherry', was released in 2003 following the gold album success of 2001's Mercury Prize nominated debut Felt Mountain.
