Product Description
When Hybrid members Mike Truman, Chris Healings and Lee Mullin released their debut album "Wide Angle", it surprised anyone who thought that dance music couldnt be clever, challenging and musically astute. "Wide Angle" was over a year in the making. They wanted to produce something more melodic, imaginative, bigger and deeper than had ever been before. So they went from Swansea to London, Moscow, Paris and New York, gathering material for a set of startlingly innovative tracks. That was in 1999. Hybrid were received as one of the most acclaimed new bands of 1999, with "Wide Angle" collecting an abundance of album of the month reviews and ending 1999 on a high with a Best Dance Act award at the 2000 Miami Winter Music Conference, a slot on the Muzik magazine UK tour and a Best Live Act nomination at the Muzik magazine awards; all the more outstanding considering Hybrid had only a handful of live gigs under their belt at that time. They have gone on to hone! their gigs to near perfection, with live dates as far afield as Mount Fuji in Japan, Miami Beach, San Francisco, Ibiza, Sydney, Taiwan, New York, Singapore and Panama City, their global presence getting stronger with every dynamic live show performed and fans converted to the sound of rapturous applause. 2000 also saw the boys completing an extensive national US tour in support of Moby.
Embracing both their chart and live arena success, "Wide Angle" has morphed into a "Wider Angle". This is a special edition re-release of the album. In addition to the original album it also includes live versions of tracks recorded on last years tour of Japan, capturing the passion that has entranced many and bringing it into the living room. Their UK Top 40 hit, "Kid 2000", a reworking of a Pretenders track featuring Chrissie Hynde is also included on the CD as a bonus track, along with sought after and previously unreleased tracks "Kill City" and "Altitude". Highly emotive and inspiring, Hybrids "Wider Angle" is sure to find its way into many living rooms and DJ booths alike! siehe details
