Neneh Cherry & The Thing
The Cherry Thing Remixed
Neneh Cherry and The Thing met for the first time at a recording session in London in the fall of 2010. It clicked right away as they all shared an open, free approach to the music. The high energy of The Thing’s playing found a fitting counterpart in Neneh’s intense style. After a performance at Strand, Stockholm in March 2011 it was decided to continue the collaboration, and the tracks for this album were recorded. Apart from their own compositions they the set features the music of such diverse artists as Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Suicide, Velvet Underground singer Nico, The Stooges and MF DOOM.
Neneh Cherry & The Thing's album 'The Cherry Thing' was released to amazing critical acclaim in June. Now Smalltown Supersound put together an album of remixes, taking in polyrhythmic house from Four Tet, via building cosmic disco from Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, to more avant leanings from Jim O`Rourke and Merzbow.
