The Passage \ BBC Sessions [LTMCD 2365]

BBC Sessions traces the history of The Passage through their several sets for legendary DJ and tastemaker John Peel.

The first session, from November 1980, features vocalist Lizzy Johnson, and catches the band in a state of transition. The second and third Peel sets, from October 1981 and May 1982, feature two otherwise unrecorded tracks in Rod of Iron and Form and Void. The collection also includes three unreleased demos from 1983.

Reviews:

"All clattering percussion, lyrical shock and awe, and dreamy synthesizers" (Q, 07/2003)

"Excellent" (The Wire, 12/2003)

"The Passage revel in an environment more than most given to an experimental approach, and so it proves with another range of enigmatic variations. Of all the synth bands active at the turn of the 80s few took such an unorthodox approach as The Passage, and we will probably never see their likes again" (Leonard's Lair, 04/2003)

"An excellent sister piece to the four studio sets, and a vital outing in its own right" (Whisperin' & Hollerin', 06/2003)
