The fifth in a series of box sets that break down David Bowie's discography into cohesively thematic eras, Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001) covers the most years of any of the sets to date: nearly a full decade, almost twice as long as the period chronicled on 2018's Loving the Alien (1983-1988).

Stone Temple Pilots embraced experimentation and open-mindedness to record the band’s third album, 1996’s TINY MUSIC… SONGS FROM THE VATICAN GIFT SHOP. Released on March 26, 1996, the album is a pitch-perfect amalgamation of the band members’ musical personalities, yielding three #1 hits – “Big Bang Baby,” “Lady Picture Show,” and “Trippin’ On A Hole In A Paper Heart.” On the eve of the album’s 25th anniversary, we're proud to announce the upcoming release of a newly remastered version of TINY MUSIC… expanded with unreleased studio and live recordings.

Retirement is out of the question for Klaus Doldinger, who will celebrate his 85th birthday on 12 May 2021. Always turned to music passion, his ears are still widely pointed.

In the 1950s these recordings would have probably given a very up-to-date impression; the playing is extremely clean – there's never a hint of sentimental violin slides or over-use of the sustaining pedal. But nearly half a century later, perhaps we're more conscious of the old-world virtues – Schneiderhan's beautiful legato bowing and gentle vibrato, Kempff's full, unforced tone, and a flexible approach from both artists, with finely graded ritardandos and subtle variations of tempo.

Alphaville will reissue their second and third albums Afternoons In Utopia and The Breathtaking Blue in May, both with remastered audio and bonus material.
