The album was released in May 2000 via Another Intercrops Production and distributed independently through Shock Records. The album features adventurous, sometimes subversive arrangements. In a 2010 interview, Conway said; "''My Third Husband'' and ''Exquisite Stereo'' had a relationship that was intricately connected. ''My Third Husband'' was such a “production in a box.” It barely involved any live musicians. We used some in the end, but the album was mostly designed before that. With ''Exquisite Stereo'', we took the exact opposite approach." Critical reception Juice Magazine gave the album 7 out of 10. It was Shaun Carney from The Green Guide's album of the week. Australian Women’s Forum gave it 4 out of 4, saying; "It’s been a long time between hits for Deborah Conway, but this CD deserves more than just critical acclaim. Yes, it is exqusite stereo – C ...

Alternative Rock
Alternative rock (also known as alternative music, alt-rock or simply alternative) is a category of rock music that evolved from the independent music underground of the 1970s. Alternative rock acts achieved mainstream success in the 1990s with the likes of the grunge, shoegaze, and Britpop subgenres in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively. During this period, many record labels were looking for "alternatives", as many corporate rock, hard rock, and glam metal acts from the 1980s were beginning to grow stale throughout the music industry. The emergence of Generation X as a cultural force in the 1990s also contributed greatly to the rise of alternative rock. "Alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream or commercial rock or pop. The term's original meaning was broader, referring to musicians influenced by the musical style or independent, DIY ethos of late-1970s punk rock.di Perna, Alan.
