Breathingunderwater continued producing music through 200-2001 with the Prayers to Broken Stones EP, featuring a handfull of songs written around the time of the Horizonchrist sessions that were not deemed suitable for that album. The EP also featured 3 remixes of tracks from Horizonchrist.

In November of 2001 breathingunderwater picked up two awards for Horizonchrist at the annual Bay of Plenty Music Awards, for "Best Album" and "Best Production". In 2001, Dean Young began a fruitful remix collaboration with fellow NZ act The Mercy Cage, providing numerous remixes for the band that have been featured on several EP's and b-sides.

The majority of 2002 was spent in the studio recording the follow up to Horizonchrist, however, plans to relocate overseas delayed the finishing up of the 11 tracks. Over 2002-2003 Dean was drafted in to playing the live guitar for The Mercy Cage filling several dates with the band in support of the "Rust A Fiction album"and going on to provide guitar tracks to their acclaimed album Scree: Transmissions.
