Império dos Sentidos is the second studio album by the Brazilian musician Fausto Fawcett. Like Fausto Fawcett e os Robôs Efêmeros, it was released by WEA in April 1989 and produced by Os Paralamas do Sucesso frontman Herbert Vianna, who also co-authored some tracks and played the electric guitar and keyboards. The album's title is a nod to Nagisa Ōshima's 1976 film In the Realm of the Senses; the title track uses samples from the film. A concept album described as a "porno-futuristic opera", it closely follows its predecessor in terms of sonority and continuity; however, its events are not limited to the city of Rio de Janeiro – "Santa Clara Poltergeist" and "Androide Nisei" are set in São Paulo, while "Facada Leite Moça" is set in Canada. One year after the album's release, Fawcett published a novel based around the Santa Clara Poltergeist character through Editora Eco. In 1992 he wrote a short story adaptation of "Facada Leite Moça", including it on his book Básico Instinto. "Cicciolina" is a tribute to the eponymous porn star.
