This
month, let’s look at another release from West Hollywood-based AIX
Records. The album pairs Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony with Respighi’s
symphonic tone-poem, Pines of Rome. This disc continues the AIX
tradition of offering as many value-added features as you can possibly
imagine, resulting in a uniquely satisfying – and uniquely good
value-for-money – overall result.

Stone
Temple Pilots, along with an elite group of acts like Soundgarden and
Alice in Chains, were the brightest stars of the early 1990s grunge
scene that picked up where the excessively decadent metal acts of the
late 1980s left off. While bands like Nirvana have received unnecessary
props as a creative force, especially after the death of singer Kurt
Cobain, STP remains strangely left out of the historical musical
spotlight. Core was STP’s breakthrough record that features a host of
hit tunes, all mastered onto the new DVD-Audio format in
high-resolution 5.1 surround. Core was among the first group of DVD-A
titles released in November of 2000 and far and away has the most
popular appeal.

Suddenly
I seem to be giving everyone high marks for their DVD-Audio discs, and
this is not entirely unconnected to the fact that I have been reviewing
a lot of product from DTS and Silverline recently. Both companies are
producing tremendous pieces of work. This album is no exception – in
fact, it is probably one of the most moving albums I have ever reviewed.
