Thirty Thousand Feet Over China The Passions

“The members of the Passions had done time in various punk and post-punk outfits, and their edgy debut album, Michael & Miranda, reflected that influence. This 1981 follow-up was a much more melodic, atmospheric outing, with a fuller production and a moody, shimmering quality. The mix of evocative new wave stylings, Barbara Gogan’s hypnotic vocals, and a left-of-center lyrical outlook on songs like “I’m In Love With a German Film Star” make it a winning proposition.” - Jim Allen, AllMusic
