Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ was Gabriel's second soundtrack and eighth album overall.
It was originally composed as the music for the film The Last Temptation of Christ, but Gabriel spent several months after the film's release further developing the work, finally releasing it as a full-fledged album instead of a "movie soundtrack".
It is seen as a landmark in world music and it won a Grammy in 1990 for Best New Age Album
Gabriel used the resources of WOMAD, to bring together musicians from the Middle East and Africa. He worked with them to create music meant to enhance the mood of the movie, based upon the actual sounds which may have been heard during the time of Christ.
However, he added a modern ambient musical touch to the original pieces, producing a musical work in the field unsurpassed.
Remarkably dramatic, even visual, it is not only Gabriel's best film work but deserving of serious consideration as his finest music of any kind

LABELS: M/M/M/M-
There is one spindle trace to Side D - all other labels are unmarked. Side C has possible been played once and the rest of the set unplayed
VINYL Visual: M/M/M/M
Both records have pristine factory-fresh playing surfaces which shine like-new
VINYL Audio: NM/NM/EX+/NM
This virtually untouched copy delivers practically flawless sound throughout.
My one play-check at loud volume revealed just the (very) occasional isolated tick (extremely minor and of the kind present on even brand new vinyl, which in essence this is) and just two clicks on the quiet beginning of the played side, Side C otherwise, the audio is impressively deep, rich and beautifully warm.
A lovely copy of this gorgeous piece of work
SLEEVE: MINT-
Clean, unmarked and unworn. The glossy info sticker shows no sign of peeling (or attempted removal)
INNER SLEEVES: EXCELLENT+
