Did I really say it sounds like Bauhaus? I don't even know what Bauhaus sound like. Weird.

i was gonna say, what the hell Bauhaus does this sound like?

Holy hell, how have I managed to not be aware of the Passions for this long?

Just went through Thirty Thousand Feet Over China and that is like some serious lost classic status.

I spent ages looking for a seven minute version of "German Film Star" thanks to this thread. I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually exist, unless it was the Pet Shop Boys/Sam Taylor-Wood version, which is 9 minutes.

No way you could ever confuse it with the original band, though.

So, I got the first two Passions albums, and wow, they're really excellent records. I love Barbara Gogan's voice; vaguely reminiscent of Debora Iyall, which is never a bad thing for me. Just fantastic guitar sound throughout, as well. As a new waver, I can't believe it took me this long to get around to them.
