I would like to thank Demonoid member Transgression for his gracious rip of No Borders Here (he even ordered the CD online) to help make this studio discography. Thanks bro! Technically this torrent is short one album (the latest - Meshach Dreams Back 2011) to be a true studio discog however since it's expensive to find on CD and impossible to find in lossless I was forced to leave it out. If anyone has this album please do make available in flac! Also, the albums with (DL) in it mean they came from her website as Siberry has made most of her music available in mp3 & AIF lossless. Pretty cool I have to admit. I snagged 8 of these, converted them to flac, ran audiochecker and have included them to complete the torrent. No log & Cue files exist for these particular albums however Audiochecker reported nothing suspicious. I'm a personal fan of her 1980's stuff and I think the track "The Walking" is one of the best Canadian songs to come out in that decade. I even recently picked it up on vinyl and what a treat it is. Anyhoo, enjoy Jane Siberry as she has her own very unique, quirky sound. And thanks Jane for taking the leap and making your music available, for free and/or pay, for the people. We can only hope more artists do the same.

Please help seed these FLACs!
From Wiki:
Quote:
Jane Siberry (born Jane Stewart,[2] October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario)[3] is a Canadian singer-songwriter, known for such hits as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud", "One More Colour" and "Calling All Angels". Siberry has also released material under the name Issa ( /ˈiːsɑː/ EE-sah) - an identity (as opposed to a simple stagename) which she used formally between 2006 and 2009.
Siberry's music is most commonly compared to artists such as Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and Laurie Anderson. Her music has drawn from a wide variety of styles, ranging from new wave rock on her earlier albums to a reflective pop style influenced by jazz, folk, gospel, classical and liturgical music in her later work. She has cited Van Morrison and Miles Davis as being strong creative influences.
Siberry has often criticized the competitive power of commercial radio and the recording industry.[4] In 2005, Siberry pioneered a self-determined pricing policy through her website[5] on which the purchaser is given the choices of: standard price (about $0.99 USD/track); pay now, self-priced; pay later, self-priced; or "a gift from Jane". In an interview with The Globe and Mail, Siberry confirmed that since she had instituted the self-determined pricing policy, the average income she receives per song from Sheeba customers is in fact slightly more than standard price.
Jane Siberry 1981
Jane Siberry is the self-titled 1981 debut album by Jane Siberry. The original vinyl album is out of print and consequently has become something of a collector's item. The album was re-released on CD by East Side Records in 1988.[citation needed]
Siberry did not yet display the new wave pop style that would make her a household name in Canada with her next album, 1984's No Borders Here. Instead, it's a largely folk-pop album, which has been described by critics as "post-punk Joni Mitchell".
Tracks:
1. "Marco Polo" – 3:04
2. "This Girl I Know" – 2:17
3. "The Sky is So Blue" – 4:10

No Borders Here 1984
No Borders Here is the second album (and first to be available outside Canada) by Jane Siberry. The album's single "Mimi on the Beach" was Siberry's breakthrough hit in her native Canada, and remains one of her most famous songs. Toronto's CFNY was the first radio station in Canada to recognize the song's hit potential.[citation needed] The song's video was also one of the first influential clips on MuchMusic.
Tracks:
1. "The Waitress" – 2:25
2. "I Muse Aloud" – 4:11
3. "Dancing Class" – 6:41
4. "Extra Executives" (Siberry, John Switzer) – 4:26

The Speckless Sky 1985
The Speckless Sky is an album by Jane Siberry. It was Siberry's highest-charting album on the Canadian charts and contains her biggest Top 40 hit, "One More Colour". The album's second single, "Map of the World (Part II)", was also a hit on Canada's adult contemporary charts. Rheostatics recorded a cover of "One More Colour", with additional lyrics by Martin Tielli, on their 1995 album Introducing Happiness; Siberry and Tielli recorded a duet, "A Long Time Love Song", on the 1991 Bruce Cockburn tribute album Kick at the Darkness. Sarah Polley also performed a cover of "One More Colour" in the film The Sweet Hereafter. After this album, Siberry's work was distributed outside of Canada by Reprise Records. The Speckless Sky is no longer available on CD, but can be obtained via the SHEEBA Log Cabin store

1. "One More Colour" – 4:38
2. "Seven Steps to the Wall" – 5:11

7. "Map of the World (Part II)" – 5:07
8. "The Taxi Ride" – 5:39
The Walking 1987
The Walking is an album by Jane Siberry. The album was released on Reprise Records internationally, but remained on the independent label Duke Street Records in Canada. The album was poorly received by critics.[citation needed] It largely turned its back on the quirky new wave pop that Siberry had been known for; in its place was a surreal amalgam of progressive rock and Laurie Anderson-style performance art narratives, only one of which was shorter than six minutes. Toronto progressive radio station CFNY, an early champion of Siberry's music, announced that it did not view any track on The Walking as viable for airplay on their station.[citation needed] Sales of the album were slow at first, although they improved when Siberry provided radio stations with a shorter edit of "Ingrid and the Footman".[
Tracks:
1. "The White Tent the Raft" – 9:12
2. "Red High Heels" – 7:19
3. "Goodbye" – 4:17
4. "Ingrid and the Footman" – 7:06
5. "Lena is a White Table" – 6:41
6. "The Walking (and Constantly)" – 6:16
7. "The Lobby" – 6:19
8. "The Bird in the Gravel" – 10:34
Bound By The Beauty 1989
Bound By the Beauty is a 1989 album by Jane Siberry. It received better reviews than her previous album, The Walking,[citation needed] and the title track received more extensive radio airplay than Siberry had seen since "One More Colour" in 1985.[citation needed] The track "Half Angel Half Eagle" was controversial.[citation needed] Siberry used the images of an angel and an eagle soaring over a city to depict a view of both the beauty and the ugliness of city life; the ugliness was apparent in the lyric "fucking honky nigger Jew/WASP Jap dago fag/fucking homeless preacher dyke/cabbie fucking union scab". Siberry was commenting on the prevalence of this type of offensive language on the streets of a big city. "Something About Trains" also appeared (as "This Old Earth") on The Top of His Head, the soundtrack to Peter Mettler's film The Top of His Head. He was also responsible for the cover photograph.
Tracks:
1. "Bound by the Beauty" – 4:41
2. "Something About Trains" – 3:44
3. "Hockey" – 3:58
4. "Everything Reminds Me of My Dog" – 4:17
5. "The Valley" – 6:04)
6. "The Life Is the Red Wagon" – 4:12
7. "Half Angel Half Eagle" – 3:55
8. "La Jalouse" – 3:59
9. "Miss Punta Blanca" – 1:38
10. "Are We Dancing Now? (Map III)" – 6:1
When I Was A Boy 1993
When I Was a Boy is a 1993 album by Jane Siberry. Internationally, it is her most famous album. In Siberry's native Canada, however, the album was commercially successful but not as big a hit as her 1985 album The Speckless Sky. The album includes Siberry's most famous song, "Calling All Angels", a duet with k.d. lang which appeared on two movie soundtracks, Until the End of the World in 1991 and Pay It Forward in 1998. The song was also sung by cast members of Six Feet Under in a scene from the episode "The Rainbow of Her Reasons." "Sail Across the Water" and "Temple" were the other singles from the album. Several songs included electronic textures; "Temple" was Siberry's first song which was popular in dance clubs. The cover of the album features Siberry and visually conveys the attitude felt in the music. The album was also Siberry's first to explore more spiritual themes, which would become a hallmark of her later music.[5] On The Tragically Hip's 1997 live album Live Between Us, Gordon Downie sings the chorus from "Temple" in that album's track "Nautical Disaster". The song "All the Candles in the World", is featured in the movie Final Destination.
Tracks:
1. "Temple" – 4:45
2. "Calling All Angels" – 5:17

12. "Love Is Everything (Harmony Version)" – 5:51
Maria 1995
Maria is a 1995 critically acclaimed album by Canadian singer and songwriter Jane Siberry. It was her first album not to include any musical contributions from longtime collaborators such as Ken Myhr, John Switzer and Rebecca Jenkins. Rolling Stone wrote about Maria: "[H]ot damn, the girl's back in the driver's seat with Maria...This is vintage Siberry: scissor-kicking around the soul's messiest spots in search of anything hinting toward redemption... That's exactly what this album's about: the pull of life. Not specifically the good or the bad or the ugly but just the pull and the subsequent release" [4] The album ends with "Oh My My," a 20 minute-plus ode that gathers the themes from the entire album. "[I]n this heap of Siberjazz you realize that everything that has arisen on Maria has indeed converged and that you've actually been led on an unforgettable walk in a garden facing fall with a tour guide who's sure-footed in her wobbly pace. Awesome" [5]
Maria was her last major label album. In 1996, Siberry started her own independent record label, Sheeba Records, and has released all of her subsequent recordings on that imprint.
