Cover of Kate Soper’s New Focus Recordings album “The Romance of the Rose”, featuring a garish cartoon of the characters in the opera.
Cover of Christopher Trapani’s New World Records album “Noise Uprising”, featuring a photo of the horn of a record player from the 1930s maybe, with the sea in the background.
Cover of Kyle Brenn’s Cantaloupe Music album “the shape of a child”, featuring a painting with a flock of white birds (doves?) flying in different directions but kind of in a circle, over a blue background suggesting water.
Cover of Peni Candra Rini’s New Amsterdam Records album “Wani” featuring a graphic of a woman’s face and upper body with broad splashes of yellow over her.

Oh, baby, when you touch me,
Acetylcholine fills my nuclei,
Neural arousal in your preoptic area draws you near,
We just can’t deny

Oxytocin proliferates in my hypothalamus,
I’m helplessly star-struck,
Vasopressin flows from our pituitary glands
As we start to f…!”
