Disappointed
I heard 'Breathe' and loved it, bought the album, played it once. Oh, Midge, what a disappointment this album is to me. What a shame. .


Midge's comeback album with Celtic influence
With "Breathe", he finally had a hit again that was missing on his former album "Pure" and that brought him back into the charts. In Europe, Midge Ure needed the help of a Swatch-commercial to make his song "Breathe" popular and get the well-deserved attention of his fourth solo album, a few years after its original release.

From his solo albums, Breathe is my absolute favorite. Sure, it does not contain any pop hymns like in his Ultravox time, and some might consider it too mellow. However, I think that wonderful lyrics about love and emotion, his clear and brilliant voice, and a beautiful and touching music with a strong Celtic influence, using mandolins, Celtic harp, and accordion, make this album to a highlight in his solo career.

Even though only the song "Breathe" became a hit in Europe, the album has many great songs like Fields of Fire, Fallen Angel, and Trail of Tears. My favorite is the duet "Guns and Arrows" with Sally Dworsky, a song about opening yourself to your partner and telling about your worries.

Everyone who likes Midge's other albums will love this one, and if you have not heard him before you might fall in love with his music after listening to "Breathe". If you enjoyed this album, you will also like "A Glorious Noise", a live album recorded in 2001 during his Breathe concert tour.


Genius
Inspiring, gothic and romantic/dark all in one. This is a great album. Pure lyrical genius.


Simply Stunning
I remember having heard the title track from a Swatch commercial a few years back and liking it so I picked it up. It is rare for me to find an album as good as Breathe that makes me want to listen to it over and over again on the same day I had bought it. Every song on the album is good, there are no clunkers like on a lot of albums I buy nowadays. Fields of Fire and Fallen Angel particularly took my breath away when I first listened to the songs. I can't get enough of this beautiful pop album.


Awesome
What attracted me to this cd is the Swatch commerical on TV, which has "how long is a minute?" breathe was the beautiful song playing in the background, and I instantly feel in love with the song. This CD is amazing, I haven't heard his other works, but this one is awesome.
