'Black Cherry’ still builds on their trademark experimental edges from their debut 'Felt Mountain' and that 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.

A lot of 'Black Cherry' sounds like it was born on a fantasy dancefloor in an alien landscape, never mind in the fertile minds of a creative London boy and a darkly imaginative Hampshire girl.
