And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Mercury Records Limited gets into the spotlight for this particular release. The 1991 album carried their label, not so surprisingly outdoing the competition in record pressing.
2. Texas hit the UK Singles Chart with “In Our Lifetime” all the way up to No. 4, capturing attention just before Prince before they knew it.
3. If you guessed Gioia Bruno, you’re critically listening. Her vocals on “Tell Me Why” stand out as prominently as the jeans on a Cascada cover.
4. Jellyfish’s visual time travel occurred in 1991 when they unleashed a video. Equipping patience with a sense of humor, they waited a year after the album’s arrival.
5. Spacehog thought big with the intention of scoring a film script. “Mungo City” as a celluloid voyage through rock uncertainties went astray, giving rhythm a second stand.
6. A real-life murder made it into the early scripts for “Road Rage.” In choosing its topical inspiration, Catatonia certainly picked a tale stacked with impact.
7. Jah Wobble’s track isn’t just bass. Aiding this divine venture is Jaki Liebezeit, adding tasteful rhythms to now classic beats.
8. Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” received a well-earned nod in Bush’s lyrical landscape. The echoes of cultural roar reverberate starkly in “Everything Zen”.
9. “Ride” seemed destined for digital before vinyl. Breaking the radio waves, Birdman and associates took a modern route in one substantial format.
10. Mega City Four managed to ascend to No. 48 with “Iron Sky”. In an ever-crowded sky, their climb denotes a modest, yet noteworthy chart-progress.
11. “Kissing My Love,” by Bill Withers, earns its place in “Hold You Tight”. Sampling classics while starting a fresh hit trends with audibly affectionate finesse.
12. Counting out numbers in the typical manner, “Road Rage” rests in 4/4 time. Catatonia drives forward with rhythmic reliability and eight key changes.
