I was looking at my bookshelves to see if there was anything to cull, and I pulled out an old, old duplicate mass market paperback I had of “Startide Rising”.
I looked at it, then so help me God I riffled the pages under my nose and huffed that scent like a free diver breaking the surface.

By contrast, Startide Rising from the same album is very clearly referring to the second book of David Brin's Uplift series. The second book is even a match for that title, so that one is easy enough.

Parallel-ish, I think. This art showed up first on the cover of the March 1980 Future magazine. Brin's first novel, Sundiver, was published in 1980 as well. It mentions dolphin uplift but nothing as advanced as this. Startide Rising, which does involve spacefaring dolphins, was published in 1983.

We used to joke at the library I volunteer organized in college that every donation was legally required to contain at least one copy each of DUNE and STARTIDE RISING, which we dutifully compared with the copies on the shelf before binning the worse one

Most of the stuff I'd want to do needs more time (Malazan, WoT, Dresden Files, so David Brin's Uplift books except for Sundiver, which I love but isn't needed.

As pointed out by @taldragon.bsky.social, and the author, @davidbrin.bsky.social's Startide Rising is on US Kindle sale for $2. In honor of the deep pact, I have acquired some for random giveaway.
I still think "The Tides of Kithrup" was a better title, but I might be a *tad* biased.
