Swollen Members - Breath (Ft. Nelly Furtado) is Mostly SY77?
The synth throughout seems to be "Mini Bass" with slight phaser
Preset 2, Bank A, Patch 14
The Drums seems to be "Drums 2"
So Swollen Members probably picked one up at a pawn shop, Called Nelly and made a sick track out of it.

It wouldn't be the first hit track to be made using a preset from a synth the artist just acquired.
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

That preset is not listed on synthmania. But it's a typical Yamaha Moog sample alright. Drums 2 sounds a bit different to what's on here. The snare is a lot shorter. The Yamaha drum machines were always good at this sort of thing, with the amplitude envelope. Probably some bus compression on the kit as well.
Really nicely produced and catchy melody. It's got that typical nineties German techno/ trance line that I think the earlist example is from "It's More fun to Compute" by Kraftwerk? Her harmonies are very cool. But that's a terrible name for a band! Doesn't seem to have done them any harm though.
