My recommendations 2006:Supernature by Goldfrapp

Goldfrapp: Supernature
Mute 3/7/2006

Goldfrapp seems to have finally hit their stride. Their previous albums, Felt Mountain and Black Cherry, had some great tracks but were marred by some lackluster songs as well. Not so on Supernature. Nearly every song is as catchy and thrilling to warrant being released as a single. There are a few tracks that exhibit the signature combination of glam and electronica that we have all come to expect from Goldfrapp, but they seem to be growing as well. Supernature demonstrates that Mute is the perfect label for Goldfrapp. They fit in well with classic Mute acts such as Depeche Mode, Yaz and The Normal, while displaying influences from Mute's Grey Area reissues of Can, Throbbing Gristle and SPK. This is an album can be easily enjoyed by indie snobs like myself and musical philistines alike.
