	Record Review (Detroit Metro Times) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		From opening for Sonic Youth and Pavement in his days with his former band, Noise Addict, to Breathing Tornados, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 1997 solo debut, Something to Remember Me By, it’s clear that Ben Lee is well along the road to strengthening his enviably complex, acoustically driven songwriting skills.
		Breathing Tornados is eclectic and decidedly experimental, in opposition to the perception of Lee which too often finds him lumped into the singer-with-a-guitar autobiographical genre.
		If Breathing Tornados’ gold sales in Australia and a very radio-friendly, summery sound are any indication, Ben Lee should have no problem finally breaking into American pop consciousness.

	Ink 19 :: Ben Lee
		Breathing Tornados, released on the Beastie Boys label, Grand Royal, in March, is Lee's third solo effort -- his second since parting ways with his teenage punk band, Noise Addict -- making him something of an industry veteran before he's reached legal drinking age.
		Musically, Tornados moves fluidly from the acoustic folk of "Birthday Song" to the Bossa Nova beats of "Nighttime." The sound is transcendent and timeless.
		Well, there are two ways you can read it: The idea of "A breathing tornado" like it's an adjective, [but] I was thinking of it more, originally, as the idea of breathing tornadoes.

		Australian indie darling Ben Lee delivers his third solo record, "Breathing Tornados," which is at once a step away from the confessional songwriting of his previous efforts and a step towards the limelight.
		On "Tornados," Lee compiles a lushly instrumented album that is full of bright sounds -- piano, horns, and skillful rhythms that sound simultaneously sample-happy and completely organic.
		"Tornados" isn't a perfectly polished album by any means; there is an impromptu quality to Lee's songs that creates a relaxed, friendly vibe.

	Ben Lee--Breathing Tornados
		Breathing Tornados is a clever string of songs, and contributors read like a "who's who" of young edge-glitteratti: Harmony Korine, Petra Hayden, Sean Lennon and Donovan Leitch.
		Fans are used to an intimacy with Lee, due to his autobiographical bent and the closeness of the boy-and-his-guitar style.
		On Breathing Tornados the computer-generated sounds drive most of the tracks, and often Lee's voice itself is run through a distortion box.

	Breathing Tornados - Ben Lee - Song Listings
		Apparently Ben Lee's been getting a good deal of the proper encouragement and studio connections needed to get away with such an "It's okay to be inoffensive" record.
		Many listeners will bristle at 12 songs that essentially intend to instruct you how to live a wise and healthy life, sung by a guy scarcely older than your teenage brother with that hip nasal inflection going around among young solo acoustic acts these days.
		As on the sleepy anthem "Tornados," Lee is attempting to figure it out, and hopefully he'll reign disappointed enough in his quest to keep searching, thus keep making records.

	Review of Ben Lee's "Breathing Tornados"
		Breathing Tornados (1999) is the third album from slightly alternative Australian singer-songwriter
		Breathing Tornados does, in fact, combine many noises.
		There are still some good moments- the slower, dreamy 'Sunflower' and rockier 'Tornados'- but these are also combined with moments of dullness.

	Oz Music Project - Australian Music Resource and Webzine
		Whilst his previous releases have placed Ben Lee in the acoustic-indie pop basket, Breathing Tornados is a album that shows Lee growing up: taking a more cosmopolitan feel and look.
		"Breathing Tornados" is a huge step forward for Lee, a metamorphosis from his previous two albums.
		Ben Lee is not quite ready/good enough to be proclaimed "the best Australian songwriter of all time", but "Breathing Tornados" is a damn fine album.

	Music Review -- Ben Lee -- Breathing Tornados (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		On his third solo album, Breathing Tornados, he eschews the spare boy-and-his-guitar vibe that were prevalent on his prior albums (as well as his work with now defunct band Noise Addict) and goes for the gusto with a more complex sound.
		Recorded entirely on computers with mostly synthesized sounds, Breathing Tornados was helmed by producer Ed Buller, who had previously worked with the likes of Pulp, Suede and Spiritualized.
		Also appearing as an unlikely collaborator is Kids screenwriter Harmony Korine on "Tornados," one of the stronger tracks on the album.

	!earshot : reviews : Ben Lee - Breathing Tornados
		Breathing Tornados is a pleasant enough album, and it does have a catchy tune or two (such as "Tornados" with its sampled horns and organ riffs).
		The addition of some electronic blips and bleeps does nothing to enhance the songs, except when used sparingly on tracks such as "Nighttime" (which was co-written with Petra Hayden of That Dog).
		For now, the insubstantial, fluffy songs on Breathing Tornados make me long for the innocent and catchy tunes of his past.

	indieworkshop.com \| music: Ben Lee - Hey You. Yes You.
		He has said of the album, "On this record, I felt that too much feeling could never be enough." There is more feeling but it's not so much coming out of Ben Lee himself through his voice or his lyrics but through the music, which has so many more intriguing personalities then his past songwriting.
		My favorite track on the album, Chills, has aspects of what I love in Breathing Tornados along with this sense of maturity and darkness that is the most appealing quality on this new one.
		Now matter what you think you've heard or whether or not you like his music, Ben Lee is a key player in his age group in the world of songwriting.

		Sand that old paint away and there sits a clever lyricist and nifty lo-fi composer whose "Breathing Tornados" is a clever take on early-MTV style synth pop.
		The irrepressible Ben Lee, once content to croon away with a lonely guitar, has elevated his artistic ideals into the range of digital hipness and mosaic electronic pop.
		If there is a downside to the precocious pop of "Breathing Tornados" it's that finding true love has left Lee a little tepid in his lyric sentiments.

		The adventurous Breathing Tornados proves Lee capable of experimenting with new forms of expression, without abandoning the hooky pop and acoustic folk of his previous work.
		In addition to Lee's guitar work, Breathing Tornados unexpectedly offers machine-made beats, keyboards, horns and assorted weird samples.
		Lee's emphasis on texture and rhythm only adds to the power of his songs -- the combination of piano loops, beats and moving vocals on "Cigarettes Will Kill You" makes the cut a pop gem with a decidedly modern glint.

	Amazon.com: Breathing Tornados: Music: Ben Lee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Here, at the ripe old age of 20, he has managed to maintain the precocious, friendly, and wide-eyed personality that influenced both Noise Addict and his early solo efforts, while graduating to more complex musical structures.
		But luckily, Lee's lo-fi tendencies still rule the day and the synthesizers and computers are used with the same simple joy with which he bashed out nerd-rock love songs on his teenage guitar.
		this album should be sold with a censorship sticker over the entire cover to spare us all the horror that is the breathing tornados album art.

	Style Weekly : Richmond's alternative for news, arts, culture and opinion
		Ben Lee “Breathing Tornados” (Grand Royal Records) — Australian-born Ben Lee began his career in ’93 fronting critically acclaimed indie rockers Noise Addict.
		Less than two years later at the ripe age of 16, Lee jumped on the chance to record his solo debut which quickly became a college radio favorite.
		“Breathing Tornados” spans the emotional spectrum of Lee’s 20-year-old life, from the simple, tender “Birthday Song,” written for girlfriend Claire Danes, to the hypnotically catchy “Cigarettes Will Kill You” with its melancholy request, “I want a TV embrace.”

	Ben Lee // 1999-02-01 // Alternative Press - Breathing Tornados Review
		During TV talk-show interviews promoting her budding film interests, Danes came off as cheesy and contrived, while Lee’s second solo release, 1997’s Something To Remember Me By, found the barely legal Australian failing miserably at an attempt to be taken seriously as a well-worn folk-pop singer-songwriter.
		Instead of trying to squeeze out an album’s worth of songs from his acoustic guitar, Lee has turned most of his attention to keyboards, samplers and drum machines, and displayed his affection for pop music.
		And, surprisingly enough - given the fact that until now Lee hasn’t seemed that interested in electronics - Breathing Tornados is the best collection of music Lee’s ever recorded.

		Breathing Tornados, a title which could be a euphemism for severe asthma or huffing gas fumes, sounds like a record written solely as a vehicle for Ben Lee to sing sensitive slow- jams to his Hollywood girlfriend, Claire Danes.
		Picture him on the side of a bed with an acoustic and a drum machine, whispering lines like "You're the only thing I need/ The only thing on my mind all the time" before he asks permission to rock Claire Danes' bony body.
		Breathing Tornados comes vacuum- sealed in several layers of tacky studio plastic.

		They turn up late, they smoke and spit and chew, they roll their eyes at your questions and, sometimes, fall asleep in the chair.
		First, though, you should know that, until recently, Lee had a terrible reputation for arrogance, mostly because, in 1998, while promoting Breathing Tornados - a wonderful album, with some really special songs on it - he went around telling people he had made "the greatest Australian album of all time".
		He has an apartment in New York (a city he loves, for its vibrancy), another place in Bondi (that he misses, for its casualness), a lovely girlfriend, an album tour that will take him to Byron Bay, and the lead role in an Australian film.

	British Inversion, July 11, 1999
		The very opposite of the well-manicured synthscape is the savage brutality of a slightly out-of-time acoustic guitar: the most violent sound in rock and roll, according to Ben Lee in a recent MTV interview, and the sound which excites him most.
		It's ironic, then, that Breathing Tornados feels so tame -- so beholden to the basic, sanitized FM radio conventions of rhythm guitar playing.
		I'm sure that Lee wants a hit song as much as anybody else, and he's smart enough to realize that the early Ani DiFranco approach is a damn good way to avoid heavy rotation; nevertheless, he also ought to realize that his own musical ambitions have been crippled by his sonic choices.
