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.

Along with bassist Paul Brown, they wrote and sporadically gigged for almost three years which resulted in them recording a set of demos known as the 'Lost in Relativity' tapes.

Out of the Dark
Hybrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time I held my nerve
From on the edge to on the verge
I'll get what I deserve
And you don't do this
And you can't do that
If it's all the same to you then I'm taken
And you don't do this
If it's all a game to you then I'm taken in
Held back all the time
It's just not my style
Step straight and face the front
You only break out once
And you don't do this
And you can't do that
If it's all the same to you then I'm taken
And you don't do this
And you can't do that
If it's all a game to you then I'm taken in
The first verse of Hybrid's song "Out of the Dark" seems to be about the singer acknowledging their past mistakes and vowing not to repeat them, despite feeling on the edge and close to the verge. The lines "Same mistakes for what it's worth / This time I held my nerve / From on the edge to on the verge / I'll get what I deserve" suggest that the singer has made the same mistakes before, but this time they won't give in to the same patterns. The chorus repeats the lines "And you don't do this / And you can't do that / If it's all the same to you then I'm taken / And you don't do this / And you can't do that / If it's all a game to you then I'm taken in," which could be interpreted as the singer setting their boundaries and not allowing others to manipulate or control them.
The second verse continues with the theme of breaking free and being true to oneself. The lines "Held back all the time / It's just not my style / Step straight and face the front / You only break out once" could imply that the singer has been held back or restrained in some way, but that they are ready to take charge and break free. Overall, "Out of the Dark" seems to be a song about empowerment and standing up for oneself, with a driving beat and energetic instrumentation that underscore the message of breaking free and taking control.

Same mistakes for what it's worth
I keep repeating the same mistakes without any real benefit
This time I held my nerve
However, this time around, I remained calm and brave
From on the edge to on the verge
I have moved from being barely in control to on the brink of success
I'll get what I deserve
I am confident that I will receive what is coming to me
And you don't do this
You cannot act in this way
And you can't do that
You cannot behave in that manner
If it's all the same to you then I'm taken
If it makes no difference to you, then I have already moved on
And you don't do this
You cannot act in this way
And you can't do that
You cannot behave in that manner
If it's all a game to you then I'm taken in
If it's just a game to you, then I have already fallen for it.
Held back all the time
I have always been restrained and limited
It's just not my style
That approach does not suit me
Step straight and face the front
I am moving forward confidently and with focus
You only break out once
There is only one chance to break free

I love the way this song develops into something far better than it needed to be.
@Lazz_R
This song is a pure masterpiece. An underrated breakbeat masterpiece.
As good as Finished Symphony is and all the "Classics" from the group, this song is a stand-out to show that Hybrid do not always need their orchestra to make perfect music emotional.
@natoar26stylistixx
one of the best tracks of my favorite artist! thank you and (we) going ahead!!
@MassiveTrackHunter
How this never made onto national radio stations is beyond me.
But then again the mainstream doesn't always pick the best music anyways....
Such a Massively Cool album!!
This track is especially awesome.
@alexandruchende4166
+MassiveTrackHunter i'm thinkin' you ain't truly understood what mainstream is all about
@Kitsudote
"...the mainstream doesn't always pick the best music anyways"
Remind me of ONE time the mainstream picked something good. Radio is pure garbage for mind-dead drones.
