I Know There's An Answer (Alternate Mix) is the thesis, and Good Times is the answer waiting on deck.
This set starts with R.E.M.'s Turn You Inside-Out to maintain the 1990s rock anchor from Low, then transitions to Chic's Good Times for a classic groove that keeps the energy steady but grounded, followed by The Beatles' No Reply to add a touch of timeless pop sensibility. Slave's Slide introduces a sultry, slow-burn texture that deepens the mood without breaking the spell. Finally, The Allman Brothers Band's You Don't Love Me brings a raw, physicality that feels earned and author-driven, building on the sequence's emotional arc while honoring the request line's emphasis on warm low-end textures. Reach for it when the turn needs shape, attack, and a record that can define the next move in just a few bars. It leaves Good Times by Chic off Sounds Of The Seventies - 1979 (1990) a clean lane instead of boxing the handoff in. Good Times is already changing how the current record reads.

The record earns its place through how the arrangement opens and tightens rather than through sheer mass.
