"The Passions" doesn't exactly fit the exotica bill, but is a perfect example of the related "incredibly strange music" genre. Here Baxter provides cinematic moods for Bas Sheva to emote in a non-verbal manner. The album opens with two tracks of "Despair", followed by "Ecstasy", "Hate" and "Lust" and eventually "Terror", "Jealousy", "Joy" and "Passion." This is often seen as Baxter’s most ambitious work. "Here is a challenge for the listener" warns the back cover on this legendary LP, and they got it right: This is an intense concept album with all original compositions by Les Baxter. A true "monster" of early mood music and something you just gotta hear to believe. Now work your way through a woman´s passions...

Thanks for sharing all the great stuff you're sharing! It's appreciated!
You certaintly post a lot of rare, great stuff. I get what I can but thanks to RapidShare's 70-80 minute waiting period it's getting impossible. Hopefully they'll stop trying to blackmail free users into buying premium accounts.
All that aside, thanks for putting this stuff out there.
