Ha!  If that track appeared on a Caravan album, I wouldn't bat an eyelid! But no matter how much I listen to `Breathless' (and I have really tried to like it!), I still come away underwhelmed. Of course that track near the start `Echoes' is the best thing on it, but so much of the rest leaves very little impression on me. Some people seem to really enjoy the album and think highly of it, but for me personally, I think even those later albums `The Single Factor' and `Stationary Traveller' are better!

I only finally picked up abn LP of this a few weeks ago, Sagi, after being on the lookout for it for some time. I agree with all you say! It's still got terrific playing (of course!), and is never less than very good, but it's probably a little overlong with a few less interesting moments here and there, and the production is inconstent! But I certainly don't have regrets snapping it up!

 Kinda reminds me of Soundgarden's heavier moments except not quite as punky. Vocals aren't anywhere as good as Chris Cornell, though the instrumental interplay is very interesting.

 An inconsistent album (I was able to chop `Remote Romance' and `Neon Magic' off it for my Ipod so it's better than it usually is), but what's good still seems better than `Breathless'.
