==History==
Appleton and Mundy knew each other from school and had played earlier in a group called A Cruel Memory. Appleton met bassist Neufeld while working at London's Virgin Megastore. Neufeld recruited Appleton for his keyboard talents for a band she was currently in, but the two soon realized that while they were happy making music together, the band as a whole didn't please them. They split away from the group and started working on songs, with Appleton suggesting Mundy for the guitarist role, and Appleton taking over vocal duties. Shortly thereafter, drummer Latimer-Sayer joined the band, but left in 1987. He was replaced by ex-Danielle Dax drummer Martyn Watts, who remained with the band until 2006. Latimer-Sayer subsequently rejoined as the band's drummer. The name "Breathless" was taken from Jean-Luc Godard's French New Wave film of the same name.〔
Breathless released their first singles, "Waterland"/"Second Heaven" and "Ageless", as well as the EP ''Two Days from Eden'' prior to their debut album, ''The Glass Bead Game'', which was issued in June 1986. Across nearly four decades, the band have released six further studio albums and a handful of singles and EPs. A compilation of tracks recorded between 1984 and 1994 was released as ''Heartburst'' in March 1994, preceded by the 1993 non-album single "Don't Just Disappear". The most recent Breathless album, ''Green to Blue'' (2012), featured special guest and This Mortal Coil/4AD alumna Heidi Berry, as well as the return of original drummer Latimer-Sayer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Breathless-Green-To-Blue/release/4097750 )〕
Between 1986 and 1991, Appleton was asked by 4AD label founder Ivo Watts-Russell to contribute vocals to the 4AD supergroup This Mortal Coil, appearing on three tracks on their 1986 sophomore album ''Filigree & Shadow'' ("The Jeweller", "Tarantula", and "Strength of Strings"), and one track on their 1991 album ''Blood'' ("I Am the Cosmos"). Watts-Russell said of Appleton, "Without exaggeration Dominic Appleton is by far my favourite living male vocalist. He has such a beautiful, sad voice and comes up with melodies that do the same."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tenorvossa.co.uk/pages/Breathless.html )〕
