NOTES:

"Supernature" was Cerrone's third album and ranks right up there with his first masterpiece "Love In C Minor." The concept for this third album was a haunting portrayal of science and nature gone awry. Man's meddling had created a nightmare where animals had mutated into something never imagined. "Where the monsters lay, we must play." Sort of scary when one considers the whole ethical question of cloning and the rapid advances in science as we near the end of this century.

Side two on the other hand opens up with "love" as the theme. Instead of menacing drum breaks as on side one, Cerrone gives us swirling violins waiting to whisk us away to another world. A perfect world that's full of love, sex and harmony.

Now the best part is that this classic Cerrone album is available for the first time on CD. Complete and unedited. Even the original cover art was retained.

The UK group Erausre even covered "Supernature" in 1989 to good effect.

Interesting take on the 'monsters' lyric there. I found the lyrics on a lyrics site the other day and it states:

"Now the monster's made...we must pray" as in "we've created a monster, now it's turned on us and we must pray we survive". I wonder what the actual version is!

I read somewhere that Lene Lovich (late seventies singer) wrote the lyrics to Supernature. I don't know whether this is true or not but, if it is, she did a fantastic job as it's both retro and far-sighted at the same time. With global warming, environmental damage etc, the lyrics are more and more true all the time.

Cheers and top site you have here.

A TEN!! Lets start with that. SUPERNATURE was as big a hit as DISCO could produce. Some call this the BEST DISCO RECORD ever!! I don't. But it sure is ONE of the best ever. Excellent to mix in and out of, fantastic material for re-mixing. I had a ball playing with this record, so did my dance floor! This is a MUST in every DISCO collection, so if you don't have it, spend some money and get it. It is worth the twenty it will cost you!

I fell in love with "Cerrone" when I was a kid in the Bronx. The first time I herd Love In C Minor was on the "WBLS Saturday Night Disco Party" in 1977! And the very first time I went to the "Paradise Gaarage" Larry was playing it as I walked up the ramp. I was also lucky enough to work with cerrone and my girlfriend Sylvie on his biography"Why not the moon" in 2003

Just loved that song so much. I remember watching UK dance troupe Hot Gossip dancing to it on the 'Kenny Everett Show'. I found a link to it recently at http://fr.truveo.com/Hot-Gossip-Supernature-Kenny-Everett-Video-Show/id/3553830014

Hot Gossip were led by Sarah Brightman (now an opera Diva and former wife of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber) Sarah of course had her own UK hit of the Disco era with 'I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper', which I still have in my collection (much to my eternal embarrassment).

That reminded me of another from that same period, Automatic Lover by Sylvia.
