Intercourse is the second (and to date last) studio album by English dance music act S'Express. For this release, S'Express was basically Mark Moore and Sonique with a variety of guest vocalists and musicians. It was originally released in the US in 1991 with a UK / European release following shortly afterwards.
The track listing varied considerably between the two territories but with neither release enjoying chart success. Four singles were released from the album over a period of three years, the earliest of which - "Mantra for a State of Mind" was the biggest hit, reaching #21 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]
Critical reception
Dave Obee from Calgary Herald wrote, "Formerly a sextet - really - S`Express is down to the duo of Mark Moore and a singer named Sonique - again, really. Moore is, allegedly, the brains behind the band, but Sonique is the real story. Her sultry, soaring voice - reminiscent almost of Boy George's - can handle a wide variety of material, all based on a dance beat. When she`s not singing, the disc offers solid dance music with occasional flashes of brilliance. When she is, the clouds part and the sun shines through. And soon, she`ll have us all dancing to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". Yes, really."[2]
"Twinkle (Step into My Mind)" (Psychotronic Mix) - 7:03
"Nervous Motion" (Gurls Mix) - 6:35
