I heard this for the 1st time 4 days ago after checking out songs from the ILM 20th century list that I'd never heard before.. it's pretty great. Love the "$200 video" also.

My co-worker sang this at our karaoke x-mas party last night. I haven't heard this song in years and it's suddenly popping up everywhere.

I just got into an intense wine-fix a couple nights ago. Needless to say, Neneh Cherry's Raw Like Sushi, became my soundtrack of the evening. The whole Buffalo Stance track is splendid and shakes around the atmospheric. I don't understand all the Madonna comparisons though.

This T-Rex remix by Phiiliip makes great use of the keyboard riff from "Buffalo Stance".

I wonder what Neneh's stance on the buffalo is now, all these years later. I think she'll be indifferent towards them. Not as bothered as she used to be.

Holy crap. Only now? tHis record really defined my teenage years. Not only do I love her music, but her style was just plain awesome in my opinion. I loved it and still do. She was my idol and hence why I checked out everything around her (rip rig and panic, portishead, massive attack,.........)

Neneh Cherry & The Thing “The Cherry Thing” out 18th of June on CD, LP and download
Neneh Cherry and jazz trio 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, they decided to continue the collaboration resulting in their forthcoming, self-titled album, The Cherry Thing, out June 19 on Smalltown Supersound. Apart from their own compositions, the album features the music of such diverse artists as Ornette Coleman, Suicide, Don Cherry, Martina Topley-Bird, The Stooges, and MF Doom.

They are playing London, Amsterdam, Berlin etc. Not many gigs. I think that will change though. I got tickets for the London gig in July.

i'm really loving this album. from a position of near-total ignorance - love neneh long time obv, but hadn't even heard of the thing, and am only familiar with one of the originals. but the things she does with her voice these days are incredible and i love how spontaneous/controlled it all sounds.

this is a really incredible record isn't it? the thing haven't really toned down what they do that much and it still works which is quite an achievement, it's like the bad plus / wendy lewis record's cool older sister

This is a great record. An amazing first impression, and I expect to like it more as it gets more familiar.

this is all very well but I preferred it when The Thing were my little free jazz band that no-one had heard of

I bet The Thing is pretty happy that they are finally getting some attention. I'm happy for them. Still haven't heard this album but I've liked everything else they've done that I've heard.

they're fairly big as free jazz power trios go to be sure, but yknow that's the kind of big that means occasionally getting an audience in the triple figures.
― Merdeyeux, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 14:56 (11 months ago) Permalink
they've been playing to triple-figure audiences in Europe for years, but didn't get any notice in the UK until the Cafe Oto hipster crowd moved in.

if they didn't get any notice in the uk how did the 'cafe oto hipsters' hear abt them?

nah but they've been pretty high profile in the appropriate uk scenes for ages, haven't they? even as a v surface level dabbler i knew them in 2005 or so.
― Merdeyeux, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 15:32 (11 months ago) Permalink
i saw mats play to a packed out wardrobe in leeds around 2005. they're certainly among the biggest names in improvised music, don't really know why we're talking this tho. or hipsters. i thought anagram was joking upthread... are you srsly butthurt that your litte free jazz band are getting a bit of press?
― Crackle Box, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 15:34 (11 months ago) Permalink
like, why have some of the free jazz shows i've seen at cafe oto been attended by three men and dog, but then suddenly these mythical free jazz hipsters turn out in their hundreds when the thing - a group that has received 'no notice' in the uk - play there?
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 15:34 (11 months ago) Permalink
sometimes when you're quite good people talk about you and then people that write about what people are talking about write about you and then the mythical free jazz hipster appears
