Product Description
CD Description
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 worldmusicians like violinist Shankar, singers Baaba Maal, Youssou N'Dour and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Qawwali singer fromPakistan whose estactic wail most Western listeners heard for the first time on the title track.
PASSION effectivelyevokes the ancient wind-parched landscapes of Palestine andNorth 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 beconsidered 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" melodiesand 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.
