Peter Gabriel – Passion - Music For The Last Temptation Of Christ

 


Passion (re-released as Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ) is an album released in 1989 by the English singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel. It was the first Peter Gabriel album to be released on Real World Records. It is his second soundtrack and eighth album overall. It was originally composed as the soundtrack album for the film The Last Temptation of Christ, but Gabriel spent several months after the film's release further developing the music, finally releasing it as a full-fledged album instead of a movie soundtrack. It is seen as a landmark in the popularisation of world music, and won a Grammy Award for Best New Age Album in 1990. 

As the soundtrack for the film, Gabriel used the resources of WOMAD, an organization he founded, to bring together musicians from the Middle East, Africa, Europe and South Asia. He worked with them to create music meant to enhance the mood of the film, but he also added a modern ambient musical touch to the original pieces, producing a musical work that has influenced many musicians. Passion introduced many listeners to such artists as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Youssou N'Dour, L. Shankar, and Baaba Maal.

Birdy..music from the film composed by Peter Gabriel


This 1985 album is the soundtrack to the Alan Parker movie 'Birdy' with all music composed by Peter Gabriel. "This record contains re-cycled material and no lyrics" is the warning that Mr. Gabriel provides to listeners of this album when you first open its booklet...

Immaculately produced by Gabriel himself and Daniel Lanois, this album, which served as the musical background to the movie contains 12 tracks, 5 of which are instrumental versions of the songs "Family Snapshot," "Not One Of Us," "Rhythm Of The Heat," "Wallflower" and "San Jacinto," from Peter Gabriel's third and fourth albums. The remaining tracks are instrumentals of incredible beauty, where Gabriel plays alongside his long time contributors Larry Fast, Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta and David Rhodes, among others.

The music has been described as dark, haunting, moody, depressing, gloomy, beautiful, scary, adventurous and trancy. Let your senses be the judge and have a close listen to this now rare and almost forgotten masterpiece.
