Passion (Reissue) (Import)

Product Description

Reissue!

Released a year after Martin Scorsese's controversy-laden film first hit the big screen in 1988, 'Passion' tends to be regarded as a work in its own right rather than just being a movie soundtrack.

It features additional music than was included in the film; this extra material was the result of Peter continuing to record and to resolve "unfinished ideas," hence the later arrival of the record.

"In my research for 'Passion,' many people mentioned the wonderful resources of the National Sound Archive and in particular introduced me to Lucy Duran, who both understood what I was hoping to achieve and made lots of great suggestions. Scorsese had asked for a new type of score that was neither ancient nor modern, that was not a pastiche but had clear references to the region, traditions and atmospheres, but was in itself a living thing" - Peter Gabriel
