1981 The cover art was very different, the song choices were certainly not the same-old, same-old, and while there are certainly individual highlights, overall the effort doesn’t hang together as an album.You have wild tracks like “B’wana She No Home”, “Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft”, and “Man Smart, Woman Smarter” juxtaposed with more typical Carpenters fare as “All You Get From Love Is A Love Song”, “Two Sides”, and “I Just Fall In Love Again.”And then there’s the big Evita number, with the overly theatrical “On The Casa Rosada” leading into Karen’s sumptuous reading of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.”Some of the problems with the album could be arguably traced to Richard’s lack of input as he dealt with his own personal crisis.

25,532 Prior to the album's recording, a search was made for a new Carpenters producer, prompted by the band's decreasing popularity and Richard Carpenter's struggle with production duties (caused by his addiction to sleeping pills). Apple Music Pop Singers and orchestra were assembled on the A&M Records soundstage, in front of microphones that led into the control booth of Studio D. “You get a beautiful sound that way,” says Richard, “a much more open sound than you could get in a recording studio.” The presence of press turned this “monster date” into instant news: the crispness of the production and playing, and Karen’s powerful vocal, make for an instant favorite. “They employed a lot of sound effects – tape delay, things like that – and did all their sweetening with synthesizer.

PASSAGE contains no songs written by Richard, and even his piano playing was more limited, with A&M’s Pete Jolly and Leon Russell helping out in that department.PASSAGE is surely ambitious, but as a cohesive album it falls short.

Includes Album Cover, Release Year, and User Reviews. With their light, airy melodies and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements, the duo stood in direct contrast with the excessive, gaudy pop/rock of the '70s; yet they became one of the most popular artists of the decade, scoring 12 Top Ten hits, including three number one singles.

Carpenters’ ‘Passage’ album was a victim of its own timing.

Passage is the eighth studio album by American popular music duo the Carpenters. Let us know what you think of the Last.fm website.
