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.

Listen for
What to catch in the room

Listen for how Exit Stonehenge answers the color and pressure of the current record instead of simply matching its tempo. The real hook is in how the electronic / leftfield grain keeps glowing even as the transition opens up.
