Many critics complimented its blend of retro and modern electropop music, which was a departure from the ambient sound of their début album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black Cherry – Goldfrapp )〕 ''Black Cherry'' was a top twenty album in Goldfrapp's native United Kingdom, and its second single "Strict Machine" was a top twenty single.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Goldfrapp )〕 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. ==Recording and production== The duo wrote three songs while touring in support of their début album ''Felt Mountain'' but decided to take their work in a different direction with more rhythmic music. Goldfrapp chose to record in a studio in a Bohemian area of Bath, England because they needed somewhere to put their equipment and start working. The band began working on the album in January 2002 with a list of songs they wanted to try to record, such as a disco song with only string instruments. The studio's walls were covered in neon lights and Alison Goldfrapp used them to write down her song ideas.〔 They recorded early demos and worked on pre-production using a Yamaha 02R digital mixing console. Goldfrapp held jam sessions with Mark Linkous and Adrian Utley and, after they built momentum writing the album, decided not to move to another studio.〔〔 The album cover is a collage made by Mat Maitland of photographs taken by Polly Borland featuring Alison Goldfrapp with two wolves. Artwork in the liner notes also has a wolf motif, including women with wolf heads. Goldfrapp explained that the wolves are a representation of might and mysticism and that she was "interested in the idea of metamorphosis and humans wanting to be like animals and animals wanting to be like humans." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black Cherry (Goldfrapp album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
