The album received generally favourable reviews, with most critics complimenting its blend of pop and electronic music. It debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 52,976 copies, and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. ''Supernature'' has sold one million copies worldwide. The album's lead single, "Ooh La La", reached number four on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the duo's highest-peaking single to date. The album spawned three further singles: "Number 1", "Ride a White Horse" and "Fly Me Away". In North America, where "Number 1" was promoted as the first single, the album was released on 7 March 2006, but did not perform well on the charts. ''Supernature'' was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album in 2007. ==Recording and production== ''Supernature'' contains music in the same pop and electronic dance styles featured on Goldfrapp's previous studio album, ''Black Cherry'' (2003)—especially its singles "Strict Machine" and "Twist"—although it focuses on subtle hooks instead of large choruses.〔 Lead singer Alison Goldfrapp described the album's writing process as "an electronic/glam cross between Berlin, New York and North-East Somerset". Goldfrapp and Will Gregory recorded the bulk of ''Supernature'' in late 2004 in the countryside of Bath, England—the same place they recorded ''Black Cherry''. They had rented a small house and spent some months writing music; they later explained that the unpopulated location kept them from distractions and that the majority of the process was "very basic". Goldfrapp called their writing relationship a "democracy", playing off one another while in the recording studio. The lyrical content of the song "Number 1", which became the album's second single, is about the importance and meaning of relationships, even though they do not necessarily last.〔 In an interview with ''The Daily Telegraph'', Goldfrapp explained that they had never intended to create pop music. However, the singles released from ''Black Cherry'' became successes across nightclubs in North America, and as a result, they decided to write a more dance-oriented album.〔 Although this made the duo nervous, "Ooh La La" was the group's first song to feature the electric guitar. Before its composition, the duo avoided the use of the guitar because of the guitar's overly recognisable rhythm. Four-on-the-floor bass drums are also present on several of the album's tracks, and the piano ballad "Let It Take You" features evening-effects composed on a synthesiser.〔''Supernature''. North American DVD – "Little Bits of Goldfrapp". Information about the recording of ''Supernature''.〕 "You Never Know" begins with Alison Goldfrapp executing a synthesised voice, supported by both pads and synthesisers.〔 Goldfrapp and Gregory have cited "Satin Chic" as their favourite song on ''Supernature''.〔 Alison Goldfrapp named the Roland String synth as one of her favourite keyboards.〔 "Number 1" features an old synth and a bass arrangement that the group began to use frequently after recording the song. Another Roland String model, the SH-09, is another favourite; she played the duo's song "Train" (2003) on it and enjoys the sounds that it makes.〔 Goldfrapp was also impressed by a Russian synth, enamored with its Russian-language writing.〔 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「Supernature (Goldfrapp album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
