Passion: Music for the Last Temptation of Christ
 

I still enjoy this album.

There is a reseed at Dime of an alternate version of it composed of studio quality outtakes that is now active.

I'm writing to find out if anyone (perhaps a non-Dime member) has the Passion Sources album (which contained the actual recordings that inspired the original soundtrack) that they may be willing to trade me for the alternate version. Please PM me if you're interested.

aww shit. sorry Atari!

You're a poet...just so you know it... haha

Peter Gabriel is the vinegar inside of a used douche.

He's just absolute trash. Don't compare him to vinegar. You're giving him too much credit.

Passion is, without question, Peter Gabriel's* best work & it is a tremendous album.

*Personnel includes: Peter Gabriel (various instruments); Youssou N'Dour, Baaba Maal, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (vocals); David Rhodes (guitar); Vatche Housepian, Antranik Askarian (Armenian doudouk); Shankar (double violin); Kudsi Erguner (ney flute); Robin Canter (oboe, coranglais); Mustafa Abdel Aziz, Musicians Du Nil (arghul); John Hassell (trumpet); Nathan East (bass); Massamba Dlop (talking drum); Manny Elias (octabans, surdu, skins), Doudou N'Daiye Rose, Fatala, Billy Cobham, Manu Katche, Djalma Correa (percussion); Hossam Ramzy (finger cymbals, tabla, dufs, tambourines, triangle, mazhar); Mahmoud Tabrizi Zadeh (kementche); David Bottrill (drone mix); David Sancious (background vocals). Recorded at Real World Studios, London, England. All tracks have been digitally remastered. With this landmark soundtrack for the controversial 1989 Martin Scorcese film, Peter Gabriel helped usher in a whole new genre: the electronic world music album. True, ambient producer Eno and the new-music trumpeter Jon Hassell pioneered the approach in the early '80s, but Gabriel didn't merely recreate traditional sounds in the studio. He actually helped create an ongoing collaborative community of modernist world musicians like violinist Shankar, singers Baaba Maal, Youssou N'Dour and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Qawwali singer from Pakistan whose estactic wail most Western listeners heard for the first time on the title track. PASSION effectively evokes the ancient wind-parched landscapes of Palestine and North Africa (where the film was actually shot). Though there is prodigious use of drones and percussive tonal "washes," the music is too rooted in history and local culture to be considered either minimalist or new-age. Much like the film, the soundtrack situates Jesus Of Nazareth in a specific time and place through the discerning use of "source" melodies and instruments. In turn, the viewer-listener is able to envision His original mission some 2000 years later. This is no small miracle Gabriel and Scorcese have wrought.

You are wrong. Obviously "Steam" is his greatest work.

PS-Genesis was better AFTER Gabriel left band.

I don't care for any period of Genesis, but when Gabriel first left seems to be their best.

I love the album "Invisible Touch".

May the good Lord help you.

personally, I don't think you can possibly be serious.

by the way, what's up with Chris Lawrence's horrible Phil Collins avatar?

I think it's from the cover of No Jacket Required.

Lawrence and Collins are engaged, homophobe.

I'm actually serious. I love Phil Collins. In the Air Tonight is one of my favorite songs.

It's a cool song.

That one isn't on Invisible Touch though. That album is filled with some rather offensive pop numbers that are obscenely produced. It sounds like they farted it out for money & then the engineers went overboard trying to salvage a marketable recording.

The Gay Mafia certainly networks quickly, Hayden hehe.

Um, I'm assumming Daddylikes hasn't ever heard the album to comment as he did, so I just want to let him know that Peter Gabriel doesn't sing on Passion (except for a few samples) & that it is an instrumental album.

I was saying that I like Phil Collins in general.

Land of Confusion, Invisible Touch and Tonight Tonight Tonight are all great songs.

Again you jump to a wrong conclusion. I'm glad you aren't a cancer researcher, we'd all be dead fo sho.

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight is so repetitive that it may have just lended itself to yourself being brainwashed. It is an okay pop rock song though & so is Throwing It All Away (which you didn't mention). The rest of the record, including Land of Confusion, is beyond horrible.

Cuz This Is The World We Live In "woo Oh Woo"

it's a guilty pleasure for you, I understand...

if you don't like LOC, i'm sure you hate the Domino suite ;)

I don't remember much about that instrumental (I think it is an instrumental).

The video for Land of Confusion was clearly a marketing attempt to one-up Gabriel's Sledgehammer video.

No, Domino was a two part suite about nuclear holocaust. It was pretty damn awesome if you asked me.

And Land Of Confusion was awesome and was not stop motion at all. It was nothing like Gabriels Sledgehammer or Big Time videos.

Passion is a great piece of music. Gabriel has done some great things. albeit, the world music thing he does so often nowadays bores me, b/c its so dramatic, and is a bit..pretentious?...or something. but thats just me. but that soundtrack is great. great flick too.

...it's a really great book as well...

The only other things I care about by Gabriel are his So album which is a good experimental pop rock album & his duet with Laurie Anderson on Mr. Heartbreak. I agree that his stuff post-Passion has been very iffy.


People shouldn't miss out

SO is fantastic. i was working at a record store when that came out and it was among the few on the playlist we could tolerate hearing over and over like we had too.. Tony LEvin is amazing on that..

also, the world music genre (that this album most certainly contributed to the spawning of), in general, doesn't thrill me either...oh & as for the rest of Gabriel's catalog besides So, I just have a compilation disc of studio tracks & live songs that I made if I get the itch to hear his work.

The song Excellent Birds, of course, originally appeared on Mr. Heartbreak & then Gabriel did a version on So.
