Product Info

As one of the most industrious female multi-instrumentalist songwriters in modern pop Jane Weaver literally doubles the content of her Best Record Of 2014 for this synth-ridden special release.

When a handful of broadsheet music columns and reputable blog pages began to mention the vaguely familiar name Jane Weaver in the "Here's One We Missed" themed features during 2014s end of year round-ups it became quickly apparent that the singer's concept album The Silver Globe had already independently garnered a "must have" status amongst virtually any self-respecting music buyers. But unlike so many other big label "campaigns" that vied for PR attention via ego-fuelled video promos and down your throat advertising, this unassuming, dedicated, focused piece of experimental female vocal pop was in no way spoon fed to editors nor playlisters. Nor did it fall within the lines of what might have been considered fashionable or culturally relevant. The Silver Globe defied species, and for once, was judged on its own merit as a brilliant uncompromising pop record. The sixth album by a long-standing pillar of the North West music scene (loosely based on a lost Polish dystopian feature film and a French novella featuring a personnel of vintage Atari music composers next to Australian synth pioneers) was a simply typical product of the way Jane Weaver has always operated - as an independent and resilient female experimental songwriter, on her own label, on the outskirts of anything that resembles a music industry.

2CD has a bonus disc with mini album "The Amber Light"
