Hybrid (British band)

After Mullin left the group their second studio album, Morning Sci-Fi (2003), was made with Adam Taylor and featured collaborations with Peter Hook and Kirsty Hawkshaw.

After a hiatus founding member Chris Healings left the group in 2015,[2] and their long-awaited fifth studio album, Light of the Fearless, was released in 2018.

During their career they have also produced over one hundred remixes for about forty artists including U2, Moby, Rob Dougan, R.E.M., and The Future Sound of London.

Hybrid released their debut album, Wide Angle, in 1999 – a combination of progressive house and nu skool breaks with vocals and symphonic textures.

The album spawned two singles, "Finished Symphony" and "If I Survive" (featuring Julee Cruise), both of which charted in the UK.

They added semi-permanent vocalists and guitarists, Adam Taylor and Tim Hutton (both on the album and when performing live) with a guest appearance from New Order alumnus Peter Hook.

In addition to this, Morning Sci-Fi features a more diverse range of influences than its predecessor — Chris Healings stating in an interview that, We've been listening to absolutely anything other than dance music.

We've been listening to stuff like Doves, Radiohead, Soulwax, New Order, and lots of jangly indie guitar bands and classical music, particularly the work of Arvo Pärt and Alexander Gretchaninov.

The album featured the return of the epic symphonic sound and grand orchestral scope of Wide Angle.

It featured Perry Farrell, John Graham (a fellow music producer, going by the name Quivver), Judie Tzuke and Kirsty Hawkshaw.

The album spawned three 12" singles due to popular demand shortly after its release: "Dogstar / I Choose Noise", "Falling Down / Last Man Standing" and "Dreamstalker / Just For Today".

The album was made with Andrew Skeet and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra at Smecky Music Studios.

A video recording of the track from the forthcoming album, entitled "Break My Soul", was also released which was filmed and edited by the band.

They also helped finish the score for Cowboys & Aliens[9] and were working on the original soundtrack for the video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, which was released in May 2012.

The deluxe edition featured many alternative mixes and orchestral versions, as well as unreleased material, including much of the music that was made for advertisement agencies.
