What are you listening to Part the Third

Happier Than Ever
Billie Eilish
2021

Opening track:

 

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Alice Sara Ott, Echoes of Life -- largely Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op. 28, interspersed here and there with other short pieces.  

That album cover hurts my eyes, though.  

EDIT:  Oh, wow, she (Ott) wrote a piece on this one, albeit based on fragments of Mozart's Lacrimosa.

Sings For Only The Lonely (Deluxe)
Frank Sinatra
1958

This edition contained the complete Mono and Stereo versions of the Album. I would not really call the Stereo "stereo", more like a diffuse mono, and his voice is dropped back in the mix. 

Here is a nice Mono track:
