  • The Passage were a post-punk band from Manchester, England, who appeared on several record labels including Object Music, Cherry Red Records, and their own label Night & Day, a subsidiary label to Virgin Records. The band was formed as a quartet by songwriter and former Hallé Orchestra percussionist Richard Witts in 1978, but later became a trio. Witts produced the band's recordings and sang on most of their releases, the occasional lead vocal being taken by Tony Friel or Andy Wilson. Although they never truly broke into the mainstream, their most successful song was "XOYO" which came 41st in John Peel's Festive Fifty for 1982, which was the top 50 songs of the year as voted by the listeners. The song was an experiment to see whether John Cage's method of aleatoric composition could be successfully applied to popular music composition. "XOYO" also appeared on the Cherry Red compilation album Pillows & Prayers. The band broke up in 1983. Richard Witts is now a lecturer and has taught at the University of Edinburgh, Goldsmiths University in London and currently teaches at Edge Hill University in Lancashire. Andy Wilson is a club and radio DJ based mainly in Ibiza. Joe Mckechnie is a producer, remixer, and DJ based in Liverpool. He has released records on Acacia (Detroit), Ochre (UK), Blood (UK) and Aspro (Holland) amongst others. Recent remixes include Ladytron/ROC and Echo & the Bunnymen. In 2003, the entire Passage back catalogue was reissued and remastered across 5 CDs by the LTM label. (en)
  • The Passage — британская рок-группа, образованная в 1978 году в Манчестере, Англия, , который и оставался в течение шести последующих лет её единственным постоянным участником, и Тони Фрилом (экс-The Fall). The Passage исполняли электронный постпанк с серьёзными, умными текстами (в основном, социополитической направленности) и необычными аранжировками. Критика отмечала своеобразие музыкального стиля группы, в котором соединились две основных линии: прог/авант-рок (Weather Report, ELP, Can) и экспериментальный арт-панк (Wire, Gang of Four, Joy Division). Согласно Trouser Press, «если расположить их между ранними Soft Machine и The Fall, наверное, и попадёшь в самую точку». В UK Indie Chart входили три сингла The Passage (наивысшиего результата добился «XoYo»: #4, 1982) и три альбома (#9 — Degenerates, 1982). Выпустив в общей сложности 4 полноформатных альбома и 8 синглов/EP (в основном, на Cherry Red Records), группа в 1983 году распалась. (ru)
