Actually, I am listening to Breathe right this moment. It's impossible for me to say which Oils album I like the most, because I just love them all. They are the only band, in my opinion, who created every Excellent Album, and each one tells a story in a way.
Breathe took a different direction of them all. Underwater is such an imagination song. I can almost see the silouette, musically and lyrically. I can almost feel the ocean breeze on that one. And I don't even live by the ocean! Every song on Breathe has it's special meaning to me, and it's such a cool album to sing along with, and work on harmony vocals. I simply enjoy it!

I am not on your list but have lurked in on your fascinating discourses for
some time... and feel compelled to add something to the curious Breathe
discussion this month. I am a long time fan of lo fi music (The late great
(Aust) X, Gun Club, Haze Atkins, Wet Taxis, Plug Uglies, Slaughtermen etc.)
so I am clearly biased to this recording. Midnight Oil was out of my loop
but Breathe changed my mind. Rob's trashy and shonky kit is funky hipster
like Sly and Robbie, the guitars chainsawgrind, Peter wails those words, it
is almost live. For 25(ish) years, M.O. has provided us a mirror to the
unique complexity, (almost a running commentary) of the development of
Australian culture and vernacular. Breathe seems a respite from their rage
against the corpsegrinding activities of the Evil Ones (Corporations,
Racists, the purveyors of Greed, Avarice and Destruction). It is as the
title describes. In my opinion, Underwater ranks as one of the great Oils
tracks alongside White Skin Black Heart, Feeding Frenzy, River Runs Red,
Outbreak of Love, Antarctica, I could go on and on...Ian Burn drew something
different from M.O's historic practice. Change is always confronting, expect
nothing and there will never be disappointment.
Oils Rock!

One ocean. One policy. Seabed lies. One passion. One movement. One instant.
One difference. One lifetime. One understanding.
