| mksupersessions | Posted: Apr 26, 2013 - 10:12 YES! I have always loved this song. Stunning! |
| RabbitEars | Posted: Apr 26, 2013 - 10:12 Love Youssou on this track. Incredible vox. I thought it was ironic how much the church protested the movie. I thought it was a fascinating exploration about and testament to faith. |
| dplant (Canada) | Posted: Mar 25, 2013 - 22:30 I'll second the comment about how great the entire album is. He released it when I was in University, and I fondly remember it as great music to study to... It has few distracting vocals, and great rhythm. I still put it on, sometimes, when I have to concentrate on tough-to-get-a-purchase-on work. |

Several tracks are awesome and weird. The movie was The Last Temptation of Christ. It has been banned in Argentina forever. The church was so afraid that it would cause us to loose our faith. When I finally saw it in USA, it helped me to understand the real message of Jesus. Moral: never forbid, educate! Sorry for the off topic... :-) Thanks! I was wondering what the 'movie' was... |

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Feb 22, 2013 - 11:39 The entire soundrrack is a 10. Stunning and so evocative. |

Divine! Sublime! That's a very eloquent comment that makes me a little sad that the song didn't do the the same for me. I just thought it was a quite pleasant tune. |

Absolutely. A stunning piece of music. |

Seems I heard this song on RP earlier today. I don't mind hearing it twice. |

| whomhow (changeable) | Posted: Jan 25, 2012 - 15:22 this moment in the movie is brilliant. |
| jktravl (Virginia) | Posted: Jan 09, 2012 - 07:50 The new cd and DVD with no band and full orchestration is his utmost of masterpieces. If you have a good 5.1 system check out the dvd |
| clickfaster | Posted: Jan 09, 2012 - 07:41 Unbelievable CD - so much emotion and atmosphere. Highly recommended. |

| fiddler | Posted: Oct 06, 2011 - 07:36 This whole album is amazing and boundless. I feel that his happened during his most creative period. (also check out the studio version of "Across the River" from about this time..Stewart Copeland on drums, David Rhodes on guitar...) |

| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Feb 12, 2010 - 13:02 This is a really good song if they could just extract that Peter Gabriel guy and get a good singer!  |
| S-curvy (Lovely Alameda, the Isle of Style) | Posted: Jan 27, 2010 - 21:17 I totally agree! Both soundtracks are tremendous compliments to very time and place specific films. This genre was marvelously followed by Pieter Bourke & Lisa Gerrard's soundtrack for Gladiator. This is one of my all-time faves. I'm a bit surprised we don't hear more of it here on RP, but I'm not complaining about these wonderful surprise playings. rdo wrote: This is great, and also Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to The Mission. |

Personally, I think Peter will most likely look at this as his biggest musical accomplishment... at least, so far! |

| AdyMiles (Wolverhampton, UK) | Posted: Aug 23, 2009 - 13:21 song is okay. don't like the repetitious ending though my previous comment was meant to rude "i like most peter gabriel (full stop)," but I think some read it a bit wrong i think he is overplayed here but he is very talented |
