Lineup note
Cover Me into Exit Stonehenge

Cover Me by Björk off Post (1995) belongs here because Exit Stonehenge by Soundgarden transitions smoothly after The Modern Things by Björk and sets up a new direction without overwhelming the emotional arc.. Exit Stonehenge is waiting as the answer, so this record is doing more than setting a mood; it is shaping the turn.

Track context
Post · 1995

Cover Me comes through with a steady shoulder-roll and electronic / leftfield around the edges, giving the sequence a 1990s depth instead of a quick disposable hit. The crowd response around Me And Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul suggests listeners are leaning toward texture and detail, not just impact.
