Wide Angle

Wide Angle (1999) is the debut studio album by British breakbeat trance producers Hybrid, and was re-released in 2000 as a double-CD edition entitled Wider Angle. It was released to critical acclaim, described by The Times as "one of the most moving pieces of electronic music ever".
The core Hybrid trio of Mike Truman, Lee Mullin and Chris Healings contributed the dance music backbone of the album, with a mix of progressive breakbeat, trance and house. However, they were joined by a wide array of musical personnel for this expansive, literally symphonic album. Orchestral parts were performed by the Russian Federal Orchestra, conducted by Sacha Puttnam, who was also responsible for the orchestral arrangements. Julee Cruise, best known for the theme of Twin Peaks, supplied vocals on several songs, and Soon E MC added French rapping to Sinequanon.
In 2000, the album was re-released as a double CD package, labelled Wider Angle. The second CD, titled Live Angle, featured a live set with Alex Madge on drums and Jamie Griffiths on the wheels of steel, and several singles, including Kid 2000 with Chrissie Hynde.
