4.0 out of 5 stars A new voice dazzles, September 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: No Borders Here (Audio CD)

In all honesty, I have to admit that I heard "The Speckless Sky" (her 3rd release) before I went back and discovered this release. No Borders has the same attributes of Speckless and is in many ways it's little sister. Still, a stunning peice of at time ethereal new wave. In line with Lene Lovich cum Kate Bush. This is to Jane Siberry's canon, what Cowgirl With a Larait is to kd lang's. From the whimsical lyric-poetry of Waitress to the now trademark heart in your throat simple balladry of You Don't Need..this is the groundwork that all serious Jane fans should experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Ever Changing Artist, February 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: No Borders Here (Audio CD)

Having been a Jane fan since 1985 (with the US release of "No Border Here"), this is still one of her best collections. It carries the purity of her early days along with the complexity that Jane retains today. "Map of the World (Part I)" is so ethereal, layered with such gossamer vocals. "I Muse Aloud" is about those moments when being in love expands to being in love with the whole world in an innocent way and the lover is seem through blinders... yet as often occurs when the blinders are removed the relationship ends and the two artists no longer work together. Don't expect any two Jane CD's to have a similar sound, you will be very disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sonic Poetry, December 1, 2002

This review is from: No Borders Here (Audio CD)

The artist's singular vision manifests here in nine varied and textured songs, of which my favorites are Dancing Class with its snatch of conversation (in German and English) in the middle, Follow Me, a fast rousing song with cinematic images, the complex little symphony called Mimi On The Beach, and the atmospheric Map Of The World (Part 1). There's a cinematic quality to the music - the songs are like crafted sonic poems but no less warm and moving for that. Siberry's talent is to communicate with the higher regions of the soul - her best songs all have a spiritual resonance. This may not be considered her best by the fans, but it deserves five stars for the above-mentioned classics. It's my favorite Siberry album, along with When I Was A Boy and The Speckless Sky. Truly timeless music and an uplifting listening experience.
