Slippage is why I keep this around. Spaced out strings, the organ, and it never bothers resolving, which on a record this keen to get to a chorus counts for something. Train has the bassline and Strict Machine is I Feel Love with a better wardrobe, they work, they were always going to work, I don't need to hear them again. Deep Honey gets close and then remembers it's supposed to be a single. Felt Mountain was the one I wanted more of and this obviously isn't that, but more of it holds than I expected.

About
Black Cherry is the second studio album by English electronic music duo Goldfrapp, released in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2003 by Mute Records to generally positive reviews. Many critics complimented its blend of retro and modern electropop music, which was a departure from the ambient sound of their debut album. Black Cherry was a top twenty album in Goldfrapp's native United Kingdom, and its second single "Strict Machine" was a top twenty single. It earned the band a nomination for Best British Dance Act at the 2004 BRIT Awards. The album was supported by the 2003–04 Black Cherry Tour. The album represented a change in Goldfrapp's musical style, featuring glam rock and synthpop music; inspirations were Spanish disco group Baccara and Swedish techno artist Håkan Lidbo. In August 2005, the album was certified platinum in the UK, and had sold nearly 500,000 copies worldwide as of May 2005.
