Peter Gabriel's Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ stands as one of the most ambitious and boundary-pushing soundtrack recordings of its era. Created for Martin Scorsese's controversial 1988 film, this album brought together an extraordinary cast of world-class musicians from Pakistan, Turkey, India, Egypt, Morocco, Senegal, Ghana, and beyond, weaving their traditions into a rich, transportive sonic tapestry rooted in North African rhythms and ancient instrumentation.
More than a conventional film score, Passion was conceived by Gabriel as a fully realized standalone work, incorporating pieces that never made it into the film itself and drawing on traditional melodies from Armenia, Kurdistan, and Egypt alongside original compositions. Released on Real World Records, this remastered edition delivers Gabriel's genre-defying blend of electronic production and global folk music with exceptional clarity and depth, making it an essential listen for fans of world music, progressive rock, and cinematic soundscapes alike.
