Then again, what haven't they sampled? The little pickpockety bastards! Talented lot, tho. "Passion": A classic, a must-have, one of the best records of the decade, probably the best fusion of ethnic and "modern" musics put to plastic, covers the range of human emotion and experience in surround-sound cinema panorama, listen again and again and again, don't forget to try headphones, and buy yourself some hand percussion, it's chill and it's chilling and it's sensual and spiritual, body and soul, what more could you want? JUST LISTEN TO THE GATING ON THE DRUMS!!! Sorry, a slight panic. Oh, by the way, I like this album. And have a go at the "Birdy" soundtrack, a phab philm by the way, philmed right here in philly. Dare I say a far better film than the visually stunning spiritual near-miss of "Last Temptation". Then again, not easy to put Kazantzakis to cinema. K's epitaph: "I have no desire. I have no fear. I am free." 3
