− | Basic tracking took place over the course of four days, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_12|12]]-[[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_15|15 June 1988]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota. The track is, in essence, a sound collage, rather than a song, and was recorded specifically to be played during the [[Lovesexy Tour]] shows, as the intermission piece (hence the name) between the first and second halves of the show. As such, it was never intended for inclusion on any studio project. | + | Basic tracking took place over the course of four days, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_12|12]]-[[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_15|15 June 1988]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

| [[Intermission]] includes many elements from other tracks, as well as many unique parts. It opens with deep synth notes and some classical-sounding synth work, before a female voice recites a portion of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shakespeare William Shakespeare]'s play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet Romeo and Juliet] ([http://www.shakespeare-literature.com/Romeo_and_Juliet/9.html Act 2, Scene 2]). This was originally recorded for [[Modernaire]] and it's possibly the voice of [[Jill Jones]]. The background contains some [[Clare Fischer]] arranged strings lifted from [[Crystal Ball]] (which was unreleased at the time). [[Ingrid Chavez]]'s poem [[Cross The Line]] is then sampled in full, with underneath it the arrangement that [[Clare Fischer]] did for [[Cosmic Day]] (which remains unreleased to this day). <br> | | [[Intermission]] includes many elements from other tracks, as well as many unique parts.

As it was used for the intermission of the Lovesexy Tour It is followed by Marie France's French dialogue from Girls & Boys, along with sampled instruments from Positivity, Lovesexy and Condition Of The Heart, which is used to begin the next live track of the show, No, is sampled directly from the opening of the song on the Lovesexy album (the atmospheric music of which is in fact a sample from a sound library, although it also appeared as a composition titled Passing Clouds, credited to Roger Limb, originally on the album Out Of This World a 1976 compilation of atmospheric sounds and effects from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop). This part starting with the Girls & Boys dialogue is thought not to be part of the track intermission.
