Well said, mates. Glad to see a few workers come to the defense of Breathe. A dark and pissed off howling of sorts, invites itself in and then spits its message in our faces. It's that gritty rawness that appeals IMO, - almost underproduced - in the tradition of Daniel Lanois' work with Dylan, for example. (but we've been down this road before, eh?) Anyway, it's a personal favourite that may never make the 'easy listening' circuit. A bit like Redneck in that respect.
"howl, where are you now?"

PS Did somebody flood the studio with high cal. ganges during the taping of Surfs Up? In fact the whole cd reminds of what the Oils might sound like if the smoker they drunk, the player we got...

has one of my favourite Oils tracks ever: Barest Degree. There's something
very powerful and moving about it without needing a big powerful sound.
Breathe does however contain one of my least favourite tracks: Surf's Up
Tonight. (other least favourites are: Outbreak of Love and Shakers and
Movers)
I got the impression that the making of Breathe was not an easy process for
the Oils (did Rob not get on with the producer, Malcolm Burn?), however I
think it is a great sounding album and he did a really good job
with those dirty bass sounds and muted guitar slashes on songs like Star of
Hope (another fav.). And who can honestly stand up and say that the sound of
Peter's growly voice played off against the wonderful Emmylou Harris is not
justification enough for the album.
Well anyway that's my two penneth on the subject.
Pete
