PASSION - MUSIC FROM THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST

This album is Peter Gabriel's soundtrack for Martin Scorcese's film The Last Temptation Of Christ (not Mel Gibson's reigious snuff film). So, as a soundtrack, this is less complete songs than atmospheric soundscapes and rhythms.

Gabriel does a decent job of combining Middle Eastern instruments and vocals with his own style. Occasionally, you can actually hear Gabriel's voice in some of the vocal pieces. At times, the pieces are eerie, and times, just introspective. Alll in all, this is not a bad album to put on when meditating or reading. Or perhaps just to have on when nailing things up on the wall. :)
