  City of Austin - City of Austin Music
Music is a driver of the "creative economy" that translates into millions of dollars annually for Austin.
While Austin's music heritage traces back to frontier days, it was not until 1991 that blues musician Lillian Standfield, returning from a gig in Houston, saw a city limits sign and thought the City needed a slogan to promote music.
A Council Member's suggestion that Austin should be the "Live Music Capital of the Universe" resulted in a classic political compromise and the "Live Music Capital of the World" became the City's official slogan by Council Resolution (JPG format) or Council Resolution (HTML format) on Aug. 29, 1991.

  Resolution (music)
Resolution in western tonal music theory is the "need" for a sounded note and/or chord to move from a dissonance or unstable sound to a more final or stable sounding one, a consonance.
Resolution has a strong basis in tonal music, since atonal music generally contains a more constant level of dissonance and lacks a tonal center to resolve to.
The concept of "resolution", and the degree to which resolution is "expected", is contextual as to culture and historical period.

 The BoDeans: Resolution - PopMatters Music Review
The intent might have been to expand their musical palate, but the end result confused fans.
It seems odd that, in a musical climate where Ryan Adams and the Old '97s are shifting decent units, the BoDeans would choose to take a step away from the music that they've proven they can do so well and opt to release a record with such a mainstream sound.
In the meantime, just enjoy Resolution for what it is -- a collection of solid BoDeans songs buried under overproduction -- and keep your fingers crossed that the album's last three tracks are a harbinger of what the next disc will sound like.

 Hi-Res Music, DVD Format Recordings [English]
Most people who are interested in the ultimate musical experience, as opposed to the ultimate hifi experience, tend to gravitate toward 2-channel systems for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is economical.
The stated goal of HiRes Music is to "provide a rich catalog of high resolution digital music beginning in February 2002." Since they are such a new company, their catalog is currently small, but is growing monthly.
The result has been worthwhile, as neither the quality of the musical presentation was degraded by remastering, nor does the tape hiss detract from the performance.
