Hybrid music biography continued...

producing, touring and DJing all over the globe for the best part of a decade until they got a big break in 1994 when an infamous Hong Kong DJ called Lee Burridge gave a copy of their single 'Symphony' to popular Welsh DJ and record producer, Sasha, who included it in his and John Digweed's Northern Exposure compilation. Hybrid released their first album, Wide Angle, in 1999 - a combination of progressive house and nu skool breaks with vocals and symphonic textures that had a cinematic quality about them. The recording session of 'Wide Angle' took Truman and Healings to Moscow to record with the 85 piece Russian Federal Orchestra at MOS Film Studios, to New York to record David Lynch's chanteuse Julie Cruise and to Paris to record with Parisian rapper Soon E MC.Hybrid. The release and their subsequent tour led to a gig as open act for Moby during a live tour in 2000. Hybrid released their second album, Morning Sci-Fi, in 2003. They added semi-permanent vocalists and guitarists, Adam Taylor and Tim Hutton, with a guest appearance from New Order alumnus Peter Hook. This album had a generally darker feel to it than Wide Angle, though still retaining the cinematic undertones for which Hybrid were becoming known..



Hybrid released their third LP 'I Choose Noise' featuring, amongst others, Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction and the scoring talents of Harry Gregson Williams. Continuing the cinematic theme the album features the 36 piece Seattle Orchestra known for their work on many big Hollywood movies. Hybrid have also composed the soundtrack for the 2007 movie Catacombs, and have also helped Harry Gregson-Williams score Kingdom of Heaven, Man on Fire, Domino, Déjà Vu, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and its sequel Prince Caspian. Then came Soundsystem 01, a double-disc mix collection with the first CD being based around actual film scores fused with ambient electronica, and the second containing more upfront, club-oriented music represented by remixes of music by the likes of Sasha, Quivver and Elite Force. Hybrid figures to keep their hands in both genres, which seems to suit their millions of fans just fine.
