Classics (Hybrid album)

"Finished Symphony" and "If I Survive" appeared on Hybrid's debut album Wide Angle.

The songs were very popular around the time of release and have since been played, and highly favored, by several DJs, as well as appearing in several commercials and TV shows.

Both tracks feature Peter Hook, previously a member of New Order, who played on bass for three hours during the sessions.

Previously, Hybrid and Harry Gregson-Williams collaborated on film scores for Man on Fire and Domino.

Though Harry Gregson-Williams would only make a small appearance on Hybrid's next album, they would continuously collaborate for several film scores, such as The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Unstoppable, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and the Total Recall remake.

Several alternate versions of previously released songs were included, such as "Sea Chase" (a soundtrack edit of "Break My Soul"), and "Bound and Gagged" (a rework of "Falling Down").

A surprise inclusion is also the track "Experiment IV," a cover of the Kate Bush song of the same name.

Initial copies mistakenly excluded "Orbit" (which is presented in its full 5 minute length), prompting Distinct'ive to delay shipping of the box sets.

The fifth disc contains special and previously unreleased versions of tracks, such as "Disappear Here" and "Original Sin", though some of the material has been released in the past.
