Supernature is the title of a space disco song and album by European musician Cerrone, first published in 1977.
It was his third album and sold over eight million albums worldwide. A departure from the lush disco orchestration with dizzying electronic instrumentation added to the mix, it was co-written by pop-punk chanteuse Lene Lovich and arranged by Alain Wisniak.
The ten-minute song "Supernature" (about genetic engineering gone wrong), which crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, had a three-minute drum breakdown. "Supernature" was used as the theme to Thames TV's "The Kenny Everett Video Show", which was shown across the UK on the ITV network.
