Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse is the second studio album by Skinny Puppy, released in September 1986.[4] It contained the single "Dig It", which inspired several industrial music contemporaries, including Nine Inch Nails.[5] "Dig It" received extensive airplay on MTV[6] and was listed by Billboard as a recommended dance track.[7] The song "Stairs and Flowers" was also released as a single.[8]
The cover photo, taken by Steven R. Gilmore, was from a pornographic film that happened to come on the TV in a hotel in New York City.[4] The cover caused Tipper Gore to place it on one of her lists for the Parents Music Resource Center as an example of why there should be parental advisory stickers on albums.[4]
