1) Mike Truman and Chris Healings have been writing, producing, touring and DJing all over the globe for the best part of a decade, amassing near 250 productions. The duo has written four LPs to date: Wide Angle, 1999; Morning Sci-Fi, 2003; I Choose Noise, 2006; and Disappear Here, 2010 – all on Distinctive.
Since first bursting onto the scene with the now classic album, Wide Angle, in 1999, the Swansea, Wales-based Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Blurring the line between in-studio production and live presentation, Hybrid are one of the few remaining dance acts to perform live with a classic band setup.
Though, much has changed on the road to Hybrid's fourth artist album Disappear Here. Most notable is the addition of Hybrid's third member – singer / songwriter Charlotte James – to go along with founders Chris Healings and Mike Truman.
With Disappear Here, Hybrid have managed to create an epic and unique sound which has progressed dramatically from its original dance inception but still retains much of what makes electronic music so exciting. The album features guest vocals from Tim Hutton, drums from Alex Madge and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Formula Of Fear
Hybrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Control it from the inside
Losing streak
You realize you're letting go
Holding on
Exploding from the inside
Far beyond all reason
Forge your coin
To get across the river
Sink down deep
Deep underground
Searching on
Daylight in the tunnel
Far beyond all reason
It's drifting in and out in waves
Living in the strangest daze
A picture in a different frame
You only hear me when you're miles and miles away
Silently you fall away
Silently you fall away from me
Tell yourself
Not to show a downside
Over the edge
Your fingers down your collar
Suffocate
I see you're barely breathing
Wide-eyed and screaming...
It's drifting in and out in waves
Living in the strangest daze
A picture in a different frame
You only hear me when you're miles and miles away
You only hear me when you're miles away
You only hear me when you're miles away
You only hear me when you're miles away
You only hear me when you're miles and miles away
The lyrics to Hybrid's song "Formula of Fear" depict a battle with one's inner demons, trying to maintain control while dealing with losing streaks and the overwhelming feeling of letting go. It speaks to the internal struggle many people face when dealing with their emotions and trying to maintain a sense of balance in their lives. The chorus describes the feeling of being disconnected from someone who is physically far away but who still holds an emotional presence in one's life.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of forging one's own path, taking risks and facing challenges, represented by the metaphor of crossing a river. However, this journey is not without its dangers, as sinking deep underground represents the potential risks of failure and being consumed by one's fears. The line "It's drifting in and out in waves" further emphasizes the idea of the cyclical nature of this struggle, where the feeling of being in control fades in and out like waves.
Overall, the lyrics to "Formula of Fear" are a powerful representation of the internal struggle many people face, trying to maintain control while dealing with their emotions and the obstacles life throws their way.

It's 2021 and I'm still fall in Hybrid like first time
Dru Underwood
I know what it is, Its being chased by a chopper that does it.
Teleme Thing
The whole song is epic, the transition from ambient to local at 1:23 is an act of God, then the galloping bass. I mean, this is really good, this is one of those 'looked at the speedo and I was doing 150mph' songs.
Sapphyria Entessano
Holy f*ckballs, THIS. The transition gives me the chills every time.
Skye Barcus
This album is just incredible. I'm rediscovering it tonight and so amazed again at what this band can do.
actionmacaque
I keep coming back to this song. It's one of my all-time favourites.

Same.
Noxanne Balladyna Słowacka
No Hybrid song ever feels dated.

They're absolutely timeless. I was listening to Wide Angle the other day, and it even manages to sound avant garde! There are few bands/groups that forever remain at the cutting edge, and Hybrid is one of them.
