    • Non-essential Ani
Mostly Ani DiFranco experimenting. Really good guitar playing on "Do Re Me" and a _beautiful_ rendition of "When I'm Gone". Otherwise, this is for Ani die-hard fans only.

    • Another Great Album
Yes another great album by ANI Difranco. If you're an Ani fan, you won't be disappointed. Great compilation of tracks.

    • (No) Surprise! Ani�s done it again!
Ani Difranco probably puts out cds twice as fast as most recording artists but somehow you still ending dying for the next one to come out. I think she knows that so sometimes she puts out EP's to tide us over while we wait. That's what this is. There are only 6 tracks but they are such amazing songs that it's like a complete record. The first song is a `radio edit' of "swing" from the album, To the Teeth. Basically it's shorter and probably more radio-friendly because she cuts out the rap part. The next song is the same one only the album version which if you're gonna buy this EP then you probably already have it on the actual album. But who can't hear it again? Then she has a remix of "To The Teeth." All the words are the same but the music is pretty different. You wonder how she can have time to put out all the new music she does let alone cool remixes of the ones she already done! The live cover of "Do Re Me" is incredible.. I hate to admit I haven't heard the original version but I can't picture this not doing it justice. "When I'm Gone" is a slow song that is a little hard to follow after the louder, angrier "Do Re Me" but somehow it works. The last song though it's my least favorite on this record is another strong tune, Bob Dylan's, "Hurricane." Basically, Ani continues to dazzle us with more versions of her own songs and amazing covers from some other great songwriters. ... show more

    • Ugh...Who on earth loves her?
Man this CD is horrific. I thought that I could like her raw style, and then I realized, she's just selling a product and NOTHING more. There is no "heart and soul" like she would claim. She is not putting herself into her music and if she is then I have no use for her either. Man, I hope the record store will give me at least a dollar for it although they usually make you pay to dump garbage. ... show more

    • ANI DIFRANCO SWINGS INTO SOME HITS & MISSES.
I love this lady, she is original, refreshing and completely beyond the norm of pop. However her latest "Swing Set" an EP with 6 songs, 2 of them are an album version and radio version of "Swing" falls a little short. "To the Teeth" is a really good remix, as for the song "Hurricane", but the live version of "Do Re Me" is a little short of embarrasing and the other cut "When I'm Gone" seems poorly produced. A little disappointing but if you are a DeFranco fan "Swing" and "To The Teeth" make up for it. ... show more

    • The Groove Comes Round
Serving as an excellent bridge between last year's *To The Teeth* and even newer material recently debuted at concerts, Ani DiFranco's *Swing Set* features both funk and folk and evenly mixes the two on the bookend tracks of this sharply designed EP. The first song is a tightened radio edit version of the groove-laced "Swing," and it is followed by the album cut. Both display a new sonic vocabulary that Ani built while on tour with jazz/funk legend Maceo Parker last summer. "Swing" is totally unlike any other Ani DiFranco song published to date, but it doesn't grate against its context the way some of her other somewhat experimental tacks have. The third track is a total reinvention of "To The Teeth"; it features the same chordal structure but changes nearly everything else. Cleverly using the gunfire of what might have been an old cartoon as its percussion track and resampled horns from the original for ornamentation, "To The Teeth" provides a totally fresh look at Ani's emotional plea for gun control. The latter half of the *Swing* EP features some superb cover recordings, something DiFranco's catalogue has severely lacked thus far. First is Woody Guthrie's "Do Re Mi," recorded on tour with folkers extraordinaire Greg Brown and Gillian Welch. The harmony that these performers and their side-men add to Ani's melody is welcome and warranted, while the inclusion of other experienced guitarists on a DiFranco track is a treat. Phil Och's "When I'm Gone" provides stark contrast, a slow and thoughtful acoustic construction featuring only Ani and her own acoustic guitar. As Ani herself has pointed out, 'silences have their own things to say,' and she says plenty here with the moments of calm left in the wake of sweet guitar reverb. Capping off Ani's second "single" is a growling band version of Bob Dylan's classic "Hurricane." Ani had recorded it for last year's film The Hurricane (whose subject it is about) but it was inexplicably unused. The song features no discernible acoustic guitar, instead standing by virtue of a backbone of solid bass, organ, and drums. Ani herself adds a spare electric riff and a weathered but energetic vocal. Here she is in her glory: not singing so much as storytelling. That is partially the beauty of Dylan's construction, swinging back and forth between menacing minor-key verses and shimmering major outros. Clocking in at over seven minutes, afterwards you don't know whether you should start breathing again or if you should just press the play button. Here's some advice: Press the play button. ... show more

    • Good Mainstream-capable Ani
I'm sure nobody would argue that Ani is at her best live, but being in the studio she sure manages to produce some great works. This is a fantastic EP that has some songs that definitely have mainstream appeal on it. Nevertheless, a good listen/buy for a hardcore Ani fan, too. If it had a few more songs on the same level as Swing, it could have been a large mainstream success. In any case, great compared to the rest of what's out there, even if Ani has done and will do better. ... show more
