Album Description:
Formed back in 1993, Hybrid is Mike Truman and Chris Healings. Their debut LP Wide Angle and its sister release Wider Angle (repackaged with remixes and live recordings) has sold a total of 33,000+ copies to date in the US. This led to Mike and Chris DJ'ing and performing live around the world, including 48 dates supporting Moby on the Play US Tour.
Now in 2003, these UK Progressive House favorites have delivered a powerful opus with Morning Sci-Fi. Equally exquisite and menacing, the group's second proper full length combines its signature progressive house/breakbeat fusion with cinematic, orchestral flourishes and sturdy rock inferences.
The marriage of live instrumentation and electronic experimentation evident on Morning Sci-Fi is by no means accidental, having wowed this year's Winter Music Conference, Glastonbury Festival and Fabric with their astonishing new live show complete with groundbreaking visuals, and it eventually provided for some of the album's truly inspired collaborations.
Recorded in Russia and at Hybrid's studio in Wales, Morning Sci-Fi features appearances by legendary New Order bassist Peter Hook, drummer Richard Thair (Red Snapper), NY-based DJ/remixer John Creamer, The Hermitage String Orchestra, and vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw (Opus III, BT, Way Out West) joining band members Alex Madge, Tim Hutton (Groove Armada) and new discovery, vocalist Adam Taylor.
The album title Morning Sci-Fi points to the band's effective presentation of emotional technology. It offers a knowing nod to the sound effects and deft production these accomplished architects have painstakingly created over the last two years and also acknowledges that slightly twisted hour of day between darkness and daybreak which purposefully evokes the feel of the album.
The included Bonus DVD has 40 minutes of footage including clips from the 1999 Moby US Tour, interviews with Hybrid and Peter Hook, and live concert footage from Dublin, Ireland filmed in May 2003.
Album Details:

Some excellent tracks, especially Higher than a Skyscraper; This is a completely new sound from Wide Angle, however, be warned.

In 2003, buzz surrounding the release of Hybrid's second album was omnipresent among dance music cognoscenti. The breakbeat production duo of Chris Healings and Mike Truman had first come to the scene's attention when Sasha championed their track "Symphony", and their first album WIDE ANGLE stunned critics and listeners alike in 2000 with its cinematic scope and glorious mixtures of strings and rigourous intelligent dance music. A single in early 2003, "Visible Noise"/"Gravastar" foretold a darker, ... Read More

You know the saying never judge a book by its cover, well i do, i have for years, i do this for two reasons, one i am a graphic designer and am interested in design, two i believe that a cover should reflect the mood and style of the music, forget all that pop crap im talking about the real stuff. i bought morning sci fi and it is absolutely fantastic. so so worth the money, the cover did the cd justice, i have now bought three other hybrid cds.
the music is a hybrid of cinematic, electro, ... Read More

Hybrid, the welsh duo of Mike Truman and Chris Healings, has done it again with their followup album to Wide Angle with an amazing array of new beats and vocals to keep you bopping you head. All though this album isn't as upbeat and energetic as the first album back in 2000, the feel and creativity of Hybrid is still very much present.
Starting out with "True To Form" gives a good varity of beat and vocals to start off the album. People argue that the vocals on the track aren't fit, but I ... Read More
