25. Peter Gabriel - Passion (1989)

After his departure from the rock group Genesis in the early 1970s, Peter Gabriel began exploring more cerebral music and incorporating electronic, avant-garde, and world music into his style. Throughout the '80s, he also explored other interests including soundtracks, multimedia projects, and running his own label, Real World. Passion is the soundtrack to the Martin Scoresese film The Last Temptation of Christ, though due to legal complications, it does not share its title. This powerful album resulted from Gabriel's fascination with world and Middle Eastern, Indian and African sounds. These diverse elements are mixed together into untraditional atmospheric collages that somehowsound as if they were always meant to be combined that way. It would be hard to find someone working in the organic electronic field who does not consider Passion one of the greatest achievements in this genre. Despite scores if imitations, Passion remains one of the best albums of ethno-ambient/world fusion music ever made.
