Revelling/Reckoning is a great buy for any fan, new or old. It brings all her styles together on two superb CDs, theres the folk Ani, the political Ani, the funk Ani etc. Songs such as"Grey","School Night","Garden of Simple" overwhelm you with a feeling of awe, the lyrics are shear poetry. The Revelling CD is more funky than her old folk, melo-dramatic style- its along the same lines as the outstanding "To The Teeth" album. The Reckoning CD is far more chilled out, but the songs are quite deep almost soul searching material- but not even slightly heavy going! This album isn't going to make people rise up into a revolution- but thats never her intention, it makes you think,feel,understand and maybe even want to make a difference. Ani may not want to be a heroine, but she does a bad job at trying not to be one.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
