− | + | 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. 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. | |

It opens with deep synth notes and some orchestra, most likely lifted from an unreleased [[Clare Fischer]] arrangement to an unidentified [[Prince]] song, 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-online.com/plays/romeo_2_2.html Act 2, Scene 2]). This was originally recorded for [[Modernaire]] by [[Jill Jones]]. The background here contains some [[Clare Fischer]] arranged orchestra 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> |

This part starting with the [[Girls & Boys]] dialogue is thought not to be part of the track intermission. |
