Passion: Music for the Last Temptation of Christ - Page 2

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.
