Reviews & Discussion
The May 2003 marked of Black Cherry with 12 ripe tracks with 10 new licks added to the album. The ethereally sticky sounds of “Deep Honey” (track 5) intrigue the ears and tease the brain to a delightful Theta wave state. The next track, “Hairy Trees” is a tremendous branching out from “Deep Honey.” The back to back tracks go from plea to shiny sea. Without the cued break in the CD, you would think the licks are the same mix. In many ways, this album is a tripped out analogy of Winnie the Pooh. Except in Black Cherry, Christopher Robbins really learns what is to be a man who likes bears who like Deep Honey. Track 7, “Twist” is rooted in sexual fantasy with a heated plea to a targeted naughty carnie. With honey sweet solicitation, Alison requests or better yet demands, “put your dirty angel face between my legs and knicker lace.” Goldfrapp’s Black Cherry was unofficially popped for it’s Denver debut at the Compound. DJ Zac Reclipze (zacreclipze.com) twirled tantalized Compound herds when he turn-tabled the tawdry Black Cherry track “Twist” with great titillation. Black Cherry is an unapologetic and elegant heterodox album of songs which deems Goldfrapp and Gregory as a new provocative tour de force in the evolution of intelligent music.
