99.9F°
99.9F° ("Ninety-Nine Point Nine Fahrenheit Degrees") is the fourth album by American singer and songwriter Suzanne Vega. Released in 1992, the album marked a departure for Vega, as she embraced a more electronic, experimental sound. It peaked at No. 86 on "Billboard" magazine's album chart and was Vega's fourth Top 20 album in the U.K. The single "Blood Makes Noise" reached No.1 on the "Billboard" Modern Rock chart. The album was certified gold (500,000 copies sold) by the RIAA in October 1997. It was certified silver in the UK (60,000 copies sold) by the  BPI in March 1993. "99.9F°" was the first of two of Vega's albums to be produced by Mitchell Froom, whom she later married. Critical reception. "The New York Times" wrote: "By far Vega's most rewarding record, "99.9 F degrees" ... is the first album in which she breaks almost completely away from the conventions of the New York folk milieu that nurtured her." "Trouser Press" wrote that "many of the songs display a new interest in space and sound, using both in an almost sculptural fashion, creating a compelling amalgam that industrializes folk music."
