Lineup note
Deep shelf drift

Enfantines: Ii. Peccadilles Importunes, Lui Manger Sa Tartine by Satie off Complete Piano Works, Volume 6 (1994) belongs here because keeps the emotional pressure steady after Vocalise, Op. 34 by Sergei Rachmaninoff and turns the color from 2000s into 1960s. It feels more like a shelf move than an obvious front-window pick, which keeps the deep-cuts promise intact.. Electric Funeral is waiting as the answer, so this record is doing more than setting a mood; it is shaping the turn.

Track context
Complete Piano Works, Volume 6 · 1994

Enfantines: Ii. Peccadilles Importunes, Lui Manger Sa Tartine comes through with a slow-burn glide and classical around the edges, giving the sequence a 1990s depth instead of a quick disposable hit. The crowd response around Me And Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul suggests listeners are leaning toward texture and detail, not just impact.
