发行于2006年1月31日的专辑《Breathe 呼吸》带来了令人精神愉悦的听觉享受。在复杂而华丽的电声营造出的氛围中,Da BREATHE
rcy 极其干净透明的歌剧般的嗓音显得非常有穿透力;复古的打击乐器创造出的原始韵律和现代电子乐创造的节奏,本来矛盾的两种音乐元素在这里却被结合得很好,只会让听者享受不已。精巧的钟鸣、耳语般的吟诵和平和的格林高利圣咏,伴随着飞翔的弦乐和Bass,共同演绎着关于时间和生命的主题。《Breathe 呼吸》中的乐曲带有一些流行元素在内,然而它们依然非常深入的对电声、哥特和古典进行了充分而完整的表现。

Blue Stone is a collaborative project between multi-instrumentalist Bill Walters and producer/programmer Robert Smith (who also makes chillout recordings under the name Bella Sonus). Breathe is their debut as a duo, and the music they make here is pleasantly easy on the ear, with overtones of classical and worldbeat as well as the occasional whiff of a gothic influence. It's not terribly exciting music, but excitement isn't the point: what they're shooting for is "ethereal sonic bliss." The result is, at times, kind of like Enigma without the smarmy, moustache-twirling sexuality; the parallel is especially noticeable when vocalist Darcy starts whispering in her rather poorly pronounced French ("Breathe," "I Am"). Every once in a while the group's attempts at meditative depth end up just sounding depressing, as on the soggy "Only One." But for the most part this is nice stuff, the kind of electronica that will appeal to people who really aren't sure they care for electronica but are looking for something a bit hipper and more exotic than that Debussy best-of they've been listening to over and over.
