Passion, Revisited
Interesting. Deathwhore wrote to point out that a couple of tracks on Peter Gabriel's album 'Passion' (released in 1989) are musically similar to some of the material on the Official Halo Soundtrack. The two tracks he pointed to specifically were 'Of These, Hope (Reprise)' and 'A Different Drum'. These tracks can be purchased individually (for 99 cents each) at the Apple Music Store if you don't have the album (and don't want to buy it). Unfortunately, you must have a Mac running OSX for this. Intriguingly, an interview that appeared on Bungie.net back in June 2002 contained this exchange:
Matt: Let me ask one last question: do you think the Halo soundtrack is ideal background music for a night of passion?
Marty: I can't imagine anything better.
Coincidence... or a veiled tip o' the cap to Mr. Gabriel? You decide. Update: The Plot Thickens. Åstro points out that 'A Different Drum' has been pretty popular in the Myth community, since the map group Creation used it as background music for one of the opening narration for one of their large scenarios. Hmm... (Louis Wu 18:04:59 UTC)
