The closest the Passage got to the status of hit makers, they
made it clear that they were very much of their time but not constrained by it.
"XOYO" the almost hit single of sorts, started with an uncompromising
combination of distorted vocal growls, heavily grinding synth stabs, and just
odd enough melodies to make Dick Witts' seemingly sunny delivery and the
soaring bridge seem all the more of a strange, wonderful contrast. First
popping up on my radar thanks to the Cherry Red sampler Pillows And Prayers in
late 1982 and again in the Peel Festive 50 of that year.
