Music from "The Last Temptation of Christ" 180-gram 3LP 45 RPM set -Half-speed remastering

Numbered, limited edition includes hi-res album download

Passion is in actuality Peter Gabriel’s soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese film The Last Temptation of Christ, re-titled as a result of legal barriers; regardless of its name, however, there’s no mistaking the records stirring power. Like much of Gabriel’s solo work, the album is a product of his continuing fascination with world music, which he employs here to create an exceptionally beautiful and atmospheric tapestry of sound perfectly evocative of the film’s resonant spiritual drama. Passion achieves a cumulative effect clearly Middle Eastern in origin, yet its brilliant fusion of ancient and modern music ultimately transcends both geography and time. Remarkably dramatic, even visual, it is not only Gabriel’s best film work but also deserving of serious consideration as his finest music of any kind.
