majority of their releases available.  Here's what we have:

"Ageless" 12"EP  (BREATH2)  $9.50
"Two Days From Eden"  12"EP (BREATH3)  $9.50

all prices are post paid in the USA.  If you are ordering more than 2 items
please e-mail me so I can calculate a discounted postage rate for you.  Send
cash, check, or money order to the address below (pay to the order of
"IPR Mailorder").  We were quite lucky to get a hold of the "Ageless" and
"Two Days From Eden" EPs.  They have both out of print for the past five
years or so, but the band recently received some returns and offered them to
us to sell to the public at non-collector prices.

Here's some info on the band from our most recent catalogue:

"Breathless are a long time favorite of ours and we've recently gotten
our hands on the majority of their releases which have become almost
impossible to find anywhere!  The London based band have consistenly put
out it's own brand of awe inspiring dark psychedlic tinged music since
1985 via their own Tenor Vossa label.  Singer Dominic Appleton's
passionate and romantic vocal style is well known from his contributions
to This Mortal Coil's "Filigree and Shadow" and "Blood" albums, though in
Breathless he often plays a more intense role, leading the way through
the glowing landscapes of rapturous fury that grow from warm rich
atmospheres."

Here's a repost of a review I posted back in December.  Synopsis:
Good disc.  If you dig TMC, buy it.  It's grown on me since I wrote
this.

Breathless - _Heartburst_ [Satellite]  You know "The Jeweler" as
done by This Mortal Coil?  One of my all time favorite songs.
Anyway, this is a greatest hits CD from the band fronted by the
singer of that song, Dominic Appleton.  I don't know anything
about Breathless, but I quite like this compilation.  None of the
songs are quite as sparse and introspective as "The Jeweler", but
some come close.  The big difference is that where Ivo uses lots
of non-standard instrumentation (non-standard from the Rock'n'Roll
perspective) this is a straight-up rock band: vocalist, keyboards,
guitar, bass and drums.  While I did say it is not sparse, a lot
of room is left in the mix for the vocals (as is the case with
bands like RHP and the later Muses).  Anyway, while this disc
won't be played much when I just want to sit down and listen to
music, like my TMC discs, it will be a top choice when I want a
soundtrack for a dinner with friends.
