The Passions - Thirty Thousand Feet Over China [CD] (Import)

"Thirty Thousand Feet Over China" by The Passions is a shining gem of the post-punk/new wave era. Released in 1981, it captures the band at the height of their creative power-melding ethereal beauty with an introspective edge. The album blends shimmering guitar lines, sharp rhythms, spacious production, and Barbara Gogan's haunting, emotionally restrained vocals to create a sound both urgent and dreamlike. Anchored by the cult hit "I'm in Love with a German Film Star," this record reflects the restless energy of its time while remaining timeless in its emotional depth. Dreamy yet grounded, cool yet resonant, it stands as a touchstone of the early '80s alternative scene-essential listening for fans of moody, intelligent pop in the tradition of The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Comsat Angels.
