Product Description

From Amazon.com

To call Peter Gabriel's Passion a pivotal recording in the development of the world music genre would be a significant understatement. What makes Passion so undeniably huge is, of course, its global reach but also its expert handling of what could've easily become polyglot babble. Vocalists Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Youssou N'Dour, and Baaba Mal bring strong Middle Eastern and African voicing to the project, and Balkan textures come via the ney flute and doudouk. But Gabriel is the glue, offering electronic ambient flows between the multiple streams. Gabriel also brings something even less tangible: an awesome visual imagination that takes often seamless sounds and makes them impress the listener with picturelike colors and phrasing. This is, however, far more than an ambient global mix. To be certain, the intertwined rhythms stand out but always do so both unto themselves and as brushstrokes on a larger canvas. Never mind that Passion helped launch North American careers for N'Dour and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, this is a stellar musical achievement by any standard. --Andrew Bartlett

5.0 out of 5 stars Moody, exciting, compellingly different., 27 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Passion : Music for The Last Temptation Of Christ (Audio CD)
So unexpected from a rock artist. Gabriel has surpassed himself. The music carries a theme throughout the album, yet each track has its own individuality, even though they often run into the next one without a break. Such a smooth understated beginning to Track 1, but wow, how it continues! A promise of the fantastic musical experience to follow. The driving rhythms, the off beat 'vocals', the sudden change of tempo; so easy to imagine the Holy Land and visualise of the story of Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful combination of eclectic rhythm and sound, 16 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Passion : Music for The Last Temptation Of Christ (Audio CD)
I thoroughly enjoyed this music the first time I heard it, it was performed with modern dance. The combination of the images and the music left me with an overwhelming feeling of wanting to touch the music. The interplay and tension of the harmony with the beats and Middle Eastern themes is lovely. Do listen to the little snippets and see what you think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth a place in any collection, 24 April 2001
This review is from: Passion : Music for The Last Temptation Of Christ (Audio CD)
Even knowing Peter's deep interest in and respect for world music, the style of this album surprised me. The music combines traditional North African and Middle Eastern instruments with Western rock equipment to carve out a wholly unique musical landscape. I can't comment on the use of the music in Martin Scorsese's film "The Last Temptation of Christ" for which it was written, but as a purely aural experience this album delights. The twenty-one listed tracks flow into one another and I can quite happily listen to this over and over again for several hours. The perfect music for refreshing one's ears. Worth a place in any collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent CD
Probably Peter's best album to date. Shows why he is always years ahead of colleagues. Most tracks such as 'Passion' and 'The Feeling Begins' are entrancing. More please!
