Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse by Skinny Puppy
Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse is an album by Skinny Puppy, released in 1986. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Dig It”, on 2 lists with a best position of #148.
Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse, Skinny Puppy's second studio album, came out on Vancouver's Nettwerk on September 5, 1986, and it's a nasty, clanking thing in the best way. cEvin Key and Nivek Ogre, with Dwayne Goettel newly on board, stitch samples, electronic thud and synth grime into songs that feel less played than assembled, with Ogre snarling through the static.
"Dig It" was the breakout: it got heavy rotation on MTV, Billboard flagged it as a recommended dance track, and it left its mark on several industrial contemporaries, Nine Inch Nails among them. "Stairs and Flowers" also went out as a single. The sleeve made its own trouble: Steven R. Gilmore's cover photo came off a hotel TV in New York while a porn film was on, and Tipper Gore put the album on one of her Parents Music Resource Center lists as a case for warning stickers.
