Passion - Music for The Last Temptation of Christ' was released a year after Martin Scorsese's controversy-laden film first hit the big screen in 1988. It tends to be regarded as a work in its own right rather than just being a movie soundtrack and features additional music to that which was included in the film. This extra material was the result of Peter continuing to record and to resolve 'unfinished ideas'. Built on a foundation of Middle Eastern and North African rhythms and melodies, 'Passion' is unsurprisingly Peter's most spiritual work, no more so than when the alternately ascending voices of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Youssou N'Dour and Peter himself interweave on the title track. The cross-continental gathering of musicians also includes Senegalese griot Baaba Maal, jazz drummer Bill Cobham and avant-garde trumpeter Jon Hassell among many others.
