Les Baxter The Passions featuring Bas Sheva.... is an experimental, avant-garde, exotica masterpiece with Bas Sheva’s dramatic vocals, ranging from moans, grunts, and shrieks to melodic singing...portraying intense emotions like "Despair" and "Lust," paired with Baxter's complex, orchestral, and percussive arrangements...Dark, intense, and highly theatrical, it is often described as a cross between a 1950s film score and avant-garde music....Bas Sheva's voice is like another instrument, wordless, anguished, or ecstatic shrieks abound... and blend well with Baxter's usual adventurous scoring.

"The Passions" pop album by composer and conductor Les Baxter, featuring the startling, dramatic, often wordless vocals of Bas Sheva.

The album is renowned for its intense emotional themes and avant-garde approach to the Exotica and Space-Age Jazz genres.

Often described as a cross between a 1950s film score and avant-garde music, "The Passions" stood out for both its edginess and its theatricality.
