Love Is Everything: The Jane Siberry Anthology

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Eschewing strict chronology, this 20-year Jane Siberry retrospective leans toward more thematic concerns with compelling results. Thus 1996's whimsical flying-cow tale "Bessie" is paired with "The Mystery at Ogden's Farm," its '81 inspiration from the Canadian chanteuse's self-recorded debut; her '99 live song "Mimi Speaks" retorts "Mimi on the Beach" from her '84 major-label bow No Borders Here; and the epic, transgenre cycle "Map of the World"--including a newly recorded "Part IV"--spans virtually her entire career. While "Temple" may draw an easy comparison to Kate Bush, there's a deceptively effortless sense to much of Siberry's ethereal musical adventures that only underscores their power; jazz, folk, classicism, and techno inform her work, yet seldom call attention to themselves. Following When I Was a Boy, her successful collaboration with Brian Eno and Michael Brook that yielded the enduring "Calling All Angels," Siberry further insulated her work by taking over sole production chores on her recordings, then launching her own indie label. This 30-song, double-disc set serves as an appetizing sampler to her rich, evocatively unfettered body of music. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars brilliant composer and singer.......2004-10-04

I only knew "Calling all Angels" prior to this anthology, but this has been on my CD player constantly since I got it several months ago. Her lyrics are playful, profound, inspiring, joyful, heartbreaking. She provides rich vocals, arrangements and concepts. This is a big bite of music, and you have to spend the time to chew on it and learn what it is really about. But it is well worth it. Since I have been listening to these pieces, other "pop" music has become less interesting because of the complexity here. If I want to have a wonderful day, I play "The Life is a Red Wagon" or "Red High Heels" and bring a dose of joy with me. If you have an interest in challenging, ethereal, sometimes playful music, check her out. If you're looking for the latest recycle of a pop, folk, or jazz diva, skip it.

5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2003-06-22

I bought this album for "Calling all Angels", but stayed for all the rest. Jane Siberry is an unique voice of today, She reminds me that folk music as a form and influence is still very much alive.

5 out of 5 stars The Prime of Miss Jane Siberry.......2002-04-24

This is a splendid anthology of one of the greatest artists of our time. All the best songs from her many albums are here, thoughtfully sequenced (all four parts of "Map of the World" are brought together), and accompanied by an informative booklet with some great photos of Ms. Siberry. Except for part 4 of "Map of the World" there are no new or previously unavailable songs, but that's OK.
