"This lp/cd is amazing. The opening track Supernature simply widens the conciousness. The violin solo in Love Is Here is beyond comaprison. Very inventive and stimulating record in overall. This is a crown jewles of eurodisco from the 70's."
5 Star LP, 3 Star CD! KEEP YOUR LP!!

"As someone else wrote here already, the first 35 seconds are chopped off of Supernature and it begins as the UK 7'' version does! What is up with that?? It isn't just on this CD pressing. The Pure Records release from 1996 does this also. Why?? Also, I will say that the sound mastering has been over EQ'd and compressed. Espessaly on the 2nd half of the album (Give Me Love/Love Is Here/Love Is The Answer). Not to mention the times of the tracks are mislabled for the most part. "Supernature" due to this over compression in the mastering kills alot of the sounds heard on the original vinyl and even the good digital CD master of the single version (avalible on a compilation). Maybe the Maligator Records re-issue that just came out will be avalible to buy imported somewhere round the net soon cause I know thats gotta be good and also not have the first 35 seconds chopped off the title track cause Cerrone owns Maligator! Anyhow, don't buy this CD. Keep your vinyl, it sounds way better! And if by chance your vinyl is worn, find a used mint copy and you'll do way better than waisting your money and time on this joke!"
FOR DANSTITUTES ONLY

"Easily the most consistently good Cerrone album: this is what we really shook our groove things to back in the 1970's. Enough has already been said about Supernature, but the compelling rhythms of Give Me Love are usually overlooked and Love Is Here must have spawned a million self-help books-you can't do anything other than dance and smile to this wonderful tune. If you love this, you must find Don Ray-Got To Have Lovin'"
Where are the 35 seconds gone?

"Please forgive me Mr. Cerrone, that I give this milestone in music history only 4 stars. I wonder where the 35 seconds are gone on every CD release I can get. It is meanwhile the 3 "Third CD" from different labels, but on all these 35 seconds lost, that I have on my vinyl longplay. This is another reason, not only look to CD's. If someone of you have a LP don't give it away. Everybody can see how important the "Supernature" is for me that I see this mistake. If the CD is as well correct I will give 10 stars. If someone knew a CD which is as long as the LP, let me know and I will buy it the next day."
The best of Cerrone's earliest albums

"This album is better than Cerrone's two previous albums. To be sure, Cerrone's debut "Love In C Minor" made it into the top 40 hits in U.S.A at the pre "Saturday Night Fever" period of grace for disco in America, yet it contains a remake of "Black Is Black"; if that album had been made of solely origional material, it might have overshadowed any ensuing Cerrone album. Besides that, "Supernature" consists of two long tracks whilst the track "Midnite Lady" on the debut album is about half the duration of the songs on "Supernature". Finally, I think the artistry of "Supernature" surpasses somewhat that of the debut album.This album deserves the 5 stars rating notwithstanding "Sweet Drums"+"In The Smoke" which aren't to my liking. because of their near stillness nature. These two do not effect the overall qualities of the track "Supernature" since they can be considered a continuation of the fading out of this track. At any rate, you can consider them redundant or ignore them altogether."
