Should play "A Different Drum" from this album. It's even better....  (Not complaining about this one, though!) |

Thanks to Misterfixit for clearing up the mystery, at least to me. My vote goes to al-Quedisilla. I'm feeling both fearful and hungry. |

"Passion" was kind of overlooked when it was released because of the controversial nature of the movie and the fact that the music did not match the pop nature of "So". You kind of had to be a PG groupie to be willing to spend any time with this album. But it is time well spent, imo. This music stands the test of time, i think
What was controversial about the movie? I'd not heard of it before now. This is a good, elemental-feeling instrumental which might grow on me. An initial 6 from the Nottingham jury which has, through RP, learnt to disassociate Peter Gabriel from the pompous pretentious excrescence on the body musical that was Genesis. On his own he produces some really good stuff, and has my eternal gratitude for helping to bring about the Afro Celt Sound System. |

Great track and album Gabes, even if the Pope makes sure you burn in hell for getting involved in that controversial movie

Passion (soundtrack to "The Last Temptation of Christ") is excellent throughout, incorporating sounds from performers throughout North Africa and the Middle East. There are even better tracks on the album ("A Different Drum" and "It is Accomplished" being my faves). Other tracks can be heard here:

Gabriel subsequently produced an album called "Passion Sources" featuring the original (ethnic traditional) music from which individual tracks on the film soundtrack were inspired. Here's an example from (Egyptian) Hossam Ramzy:

Listening to RP as I surf. As soon as this unique beat starts up I have to go to the RP page to see who it is. Nice tune....

andycollingridge wrote:This track, as with the album as a whole, is a superb melange of world music's eclecticism and rhythmic drive with the delicate, self-referential structures of the best modern orchestral music, all mixed together with Gabriel's understanding of how to make 'big' music not sound overly bombastic. A gem.

Kidding of course. I agree. Great album, great artist, great movie. |
