"Breathe" was the follow-up single to
"Firestarter," the smash that made
Prodigy superstars everywhere except America (that would follow later, when
"Firestarter" was given a promotional push by
Maverick several months after its initial release). At first listen,
"Breathe" was a bit of a disappointment, since it was more straightforward than its predecessor, but repeated plays revealed it to be a fine crossover single. The B-sides on the British single contained the solid new studio cut
"The Trick," plus nondescript live versions of
"Their Law" and
"Poison." The A-side, by the way, was an edit. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
