The Speckless Sky, Jane Siberry's 1985 album, is the record where the Canadian singer-songwriter found her widest audience at home: it became her highest-charting album in Canada and carries her biggest Top 40 hit, "One More Colour". That song is a sweet, bobbing marvel, a pop tune that seems to wander off on its own private errand and still come back with a hook, and "Map of the World (Part II)" followed it onto the Canadian adult contemporary charts.
Siberry's songs here are all shifting moods and oblique angles, sung in a voice that can go coolly conversational one moment and soar the next. The cover art made enough of an impression on Shawn Colvin, after she saw Siberry play live, that she built the lyrics of her song "Kill the Messenger" around it. After this record, Reprise took over Siberry's releases outside Canada. It's long gone from CD, but Siberry sells it herself on Bandcamp.
