Confidence

About the Artist
Vancouver-based multi-talented singer/songwriter/performer janajana (née Jana Burge) is quickly becoming one of the most exciting young artists to emerge on the Canadian pop scene.

janajana's musical career has a solid foundation despite her youth. Only in her early 20’s, she boasts an impressive list of credits including touring Europe and the Middle East with The Farmer’s Daughter, performing as part of the Florida-based Budweiser Dance Team and B.C.’s Dance West Youth Co., and working as choreographer/performer in famed Miami club BASH owned by Sean Penn and multi-platinum artist Mick Hucknall from Simply Red.

Returning to Canada, Burge hooked up with Mark Ellis from the Song Factory which has produced songs for industry heavies BMG/LA and Dreamworks. After penning several songs for her debut, janajana’s CD "Confidence" was released in the summer of 2001 with the title track garnering national airplay on hit radio including top CHR station Z95 in Vancouver. Evoking the presence of Madonna, the tight choreography of Janet Jackson, and the soul of R&B divas like Destiny’s Child, janajana’s stage show has set Vancouver reverberating since her live debut in 2001.

Product Description
The seven-song debut album also features some high-energized dance tracks such as "It’s Alright" and "Wakarimas," as well as the heartfelt "Us," where the singer’s passion towards her music is evident in her vocals. The soulful "Shake," is reminiscent of some classic Motown tunes

Confidence,janajana

I chose...poorly.......2007-02-24

Returned this CD after two weeks. The hypnotherapist tries to get you into a deep sleep way too early. Then the images she uses are disjointed. You're in a library, for example, then you look down at you feet, and suddenly you're on a mountaintop! What?? I was just in a library! And how is a mountaintop relaxing? It's freezing up there! So you try to adapt - but then all of the sudden, you're on a beach! Forget it. And she makes references to a baby - which is NOT at all relaxing. Kids stress me out. I was too jarred and uncomfortable. This CD harmed more than it helped. Really lousy.

Great Self-Hypnosis CD!!.......2006-09-24

I've had this CD for about 5 years and I can't believe I waited so long to review it. Every time I listen to it I am left feeling peaceful and relaxed. Melissa's voice is very soothing and I the background music is beautiful. I notice a difference in my attitude toward life when I include listening to this CD as a regular part of my weekly routine. To be honest, I didn't expect that at all!!! I took one star off because I think the session should have developed more slowly and lasted longer. I highly recommend this CD!!

Not that great.......2006-08-15

Some parts of this CD are good, but others are annoying.
I don't care for Melissa's voice, but perhaps this is a personal issue. In addition, there is a particular "guided visualization" in this CD that I find especially grating - "see yourself hitting the homerun, everyone is cheering you, you can do it" and "See yourself playing with a puppy and smelling it's litte puppy breath" Seeing myself hit a homerun in grade school is not going to further me along my path, sorry. My recommendation: "See yourself purchasing a better guided Visualization CD."

big help.......2006-07-11

I bought this cd last year. I finally took the time to pop it in and listen. The first time I listened to it I had trouble paying attention, but I loved her voice and the pace. I started listening to this at just the right time. I think it is helping me tremendously!

Very Soothing.......2006-06-14

Relaxing and soothing - a wonderful escape from the drama of day to day life - I highly recommend this peaceful journey - worth every penny - has made a great gift, too!

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Customer Reviews:

Love this album.......2006-08-14

Great album, I like all the songs. I hope he will soon be more widely known. Also love his Live album with Far East Band which is not yet available on Amazon, check Amazon.de. Have to give both albums 5 stars. Old school conscious reggae.

Thinking Out of the Box.......2006-05-02

Gentleman has been a favorite of mine for a few years now, ever since getting an earlier album of his, Journey to Jah. He is one of the few Europeans who have actually made a way for himself in reggae in JA where he is actually respected, definitely evident by the class of artist with which he collaborates and the producers who voice him. Gentleman might just be Europe's best reggae export since Maxi Priest (wouldn't a Gentleman/Priest combination be interesting? hmmmm. . .)

This album Confidence, is even better than J2J was. The album, 20 tracks strong, has been doing serious business for the artist for the last 2 years and is truly, even before listening to it, very interesting.

Its a very well put together project just in terms of who Gentleman works with. Combinations with Barrington Levy, Cocoa Tea, Anthony B, Tony Rebel and Ras Shiloh, all very impressive. Add to that the fact that working the boards on some of these pieces are JA's finest in production. Vendetta, Bobby Digital, Calibud, Black Scorpio, AL.TA.FA.AN., and Firehouse. Gentleman calls in the big weapons which are typically reserved for big projects from artists such as Sizzla, Capleton and Luciano.

The results are very very impressive as well. There are no bad tunes here, and I find new tunes that I like each time that I listen to it. The best tune is always Intoxication, however, over the immortal Drop Leaf riddim. Also love Caan Hold us Down with legend Barrington Levy and Gentleman spar Daddy Rings.

Superior, big big tune, big plush sounding tune excellent hit. Love the combination with Cocoa Tea, Be Yourself ("cuz their identity is coming from the nozzle of dem gun, but i and i identity is coming from the Nyabinghi Drum!"), excellent tune. Another big tune is Face Off with Anthony B, one of the bigger tunes from B's recent My Hope album. Mystic Wind with Tony Rebel. All that being said, the best combination on the album is probably Blessings of Jah with Ras Shiloh over a timeless Digital B riddim (same riddim supported Capleton's Ton Load).

I could go on and on (and I have) liek For the Children, over the same riddim as Sizzla's massive Dry Cry. The excellent Rumors and After a Storm (probably the best old school sounding tune on the album).

Overall, Confidence is just pure magic, listen to it and know Gentleman is without a doubt the wickedest white bwoy doing reggae's music in the world.

Bee Season is wonderful..........2006-06-03

Bee Season is a score that is remarkably relaxing. It's one of those scores that you just listen to on your portable CD player in your car, as your taking a long drive. It's so peaceful. The score is filled with fast paced strings that give it a fair beat. Piano mixes in with the strings to give it a pretty good sound. Ivy's "I'll be near you" is a wonderful slow song, that has beautiful lyrics and suddenly relaxes you. The music fits perfectly with the scene in the movie that its in. Don't miss out on this one folks.

Tumble-N-Tunes is a Great CD.......2005-10-06

My son, who is almost 2 years old, loves the Tumble-N-Tunes CD. After I purchased the CD, my son wanted to play it all the time. We play the CD in a portable CD player so he can control how many times he wants to hear each song. He has played the CD non-stop for multiple hours at a time.

My son especially likes the songs "Tumble-n-Tune", "Pop-n-Hop", "Balance Beam-n", "Do the Bump!" and the "Tumble-n-Cheer!". During the song "Pop-n-Hop", he will go to the cupboard, where we keep the plastic grocery bags, and throw the bags around while he is jumping. When the "Balance-Beam-n" song comes on he walks on this piece of wood that joins our tile and wood floors together. When the song "Do the Bump!" starts, my son runs to find his tambourine and marches around playing the tambourine.

The songs are upbeat and are all different. I also like the songs because the words are easy to hear and understand. Even my son, who is not even two, understands the words in the songs. When the song says "jump" or "turn around" my son will perform these actions. In the song "Walk like the Animals" different animals are mentioned and whenever my son hears the word "elephant" he will do the hand sign for elephant.

Great for young children.......2003-03-23

I was looking for something to give to my five yr.old grandson.
I rarely get to spend any time with him, so I wanted something we could do together. Tumble n Tunes was great. He took to it right off. As an instructional CD it was very easy to follow and he had a ball. Frankly , so did I. Even after I was worn out,he continued and even added some of his own {Dancing} routine.
Aaron is now totally interested in tumbling and gymnastics.
Just the other day my son called to thank me again for finding it. He says that Aaron takes it to school now and the whole class
follows it. The teacher has asked for a copy--I'm looking forward to finding a video on the site soon.
Aaron calls it granpa's CD and at least for now it's his favorite.
That alone makes my heart stronger. Thanks Dayle and Renah

Everyday, my children ask me to play this FUN CD. They sing, jump around and share it with their friends. I purchased another just to keep in the car! We love it!

Customer Reviews:

Good performance of good music.......2002-04-05

I find less to criticize than others in this music and performance. If you know MacDowell, you know the kinds of things to expect from these songs. Not great music, but still beautiful genteel songs. MacDowell lets the lyricism flow smoothly. Most of the songs float along in the 6/8 rhythm MacDowell used so often. Concentrating on the melodic line, some of the occasional awkwardly thorny harmonies you can find in his miniatures fade into the background. Indeed, some may think the piano is too far in the background here. Too bad, because the late James Barbagallo obviously had quite a gift for MacDowell interpretation. Check out his recordings of MacDowell's solo piano works. What of tenor Tharp? Some may find his voice a little too thin, with a bit too much vibrato. But I say the songs are well sung regardless. Maybe the problem is that the songs really required a woman's voice. But what's done is done. These complete songs needed to be recorded, and this performance quite adequate, reservations notwithstanding. Over all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this recording.

Tepid music, tepid performances.......2000-03-26

I'm sorry to have to say it, but this recording contains music that is undistinguished in performances that are competent only. The music is Grieg-and-water. The American tenor's voice is light-weight and charmless. The pianist is excellent. You can't beat the price, though, if you really want to hear this repertoire.

Slicker is the brainchild and alter ego of John Hughes III, son of the famous filmmaker John Hughes. Hughes has previously contributed to Chicago's postrock music scene as the leader of Bill Ding, an arty bunch of musicians who released two interesting CDs before calling it a day. With Slicker, Hughes's newfound penchant for the skittering rhythms of alternative electronica is ambitiously fulfilled. Incorporating elements of drum & bass into his disjointed discourse, Hughes and his sidemen find common ground between instrumental rock ensembles like Tortoise and German synthesizer mavens such as Mouse on Mars. Using guitars, bass, vibes, and cello to flesh out his electronic art form, Hughes reveals authentic compositional skill and a sonic vision that is both distinctive and entertaining. Progressive music with a good sense of humor. --Mitch Myers

This record is freaky. It's quite unlike any other electro out there. If you're into strange beats, unusual samples (including a really scary dog growling in stereo), then buy this record.
