  Delicate Tension is the second official album by American musician R. Stevie Moore, issued in a small pressing by his uncle Harry Palmer's H.P. Music in November 1978. The album is the follow-up to the compilation Phonography (1976). It mainly contains Moore's new songs and sound experiments captured since his recent move north from Nashville to New Jersey, all recorded on 1/4 track 7½ ips reel-to-reel stereo tape decks. The album cover was designed by Moore himself.
  
  "I Go Into Your Mind" was later remade and released on 2006's The Yung & Moore Show.
