Rob left New Orleans before the band had finished recording Breathe and the
only song he contributed to the album was Barest Degree.

"Barest Degree is a strange one. The verses and chorus are Pete
and I singing at the same time duet style, we swap high and low lines as the
song goes thru its paces, very strange approach but it worked. That song was
just a bastard, it never should have been. It was born by accident, the music
is mine and the words and melody are Robs. We were working on one of Robs
tracks and some how on the tape there was the instrumental track of mine we
had tried out. Malcolm the producer suggested we should use Robs idea over my
track and so we did. I think Rob hated it but was out numbered in the process.
On the actual recording Jim is playing bass and I play acoustic. We never
attempted too play it live it was just a no go zone."
