I got their new album a few days ago, and it’s amazing. Anyone like this band?

Afaik, they’re one of the pioneers of breakbeats. Their debut album Wide Angle is definitly a masterpiece, one of my favorite electronica albums. The follow-up Morning Sci-Fi isn’t all that great, but still a good album. I Choose Noise now, is really amazing. Some of the most cinematic, darkest and most brooding electronic music i’ve heard.

Check it out if you haven’t yet!

we love hybrid. wide angle is amazing. this new album is shit though. its the most boring album we’ve heard in ages.

we got the EP… we were all excited. insanely excited. we listened to the 3 tracks… and we was like.. well.. it should be better as a whole album…

but no…

the album was so damn lame. we were so bored listening to that album. we tried to listen to it again… give it another chance.. but just go so bored we went and watched grass grow instead…

it’s basically a movie score thats trying to pass as an album… and it does a poor poor job.

and it’s sad… cause wide angle is one of the best electronic albums ever. and morning sci-fi was better than i choose noise by a landslide… even the production on i choose noise wasn’t that impressive. we expected a LOT more from hybrid and we were really disappointed.

its very upsetting.

hopefully their next one will ACTUALLY go back to the days of wide angle.

wide angle is the reason slice two listens to electronic music now… if it weren’t for wide angle, he’d prolly still be a pure metal head…

Hey… you guys added me on myspace, and i really loved your music. Especially that one track, the first track on your album… couldn’t get it outta my head for a few days.

But now i don’t like you anymore.

Nah, anyway, i think it’s amazing. It needs to be listened to in headphones. The production is top-notch. It is really wide and cinematic, not as detailed and psychedelic (if you don’t mind me saying it that way) as most Twisted albums.

I love the album. Of course, Wide Angle is better and they’ll never top it, but i think this album is better than Morning Sci-Fi. Morning Sci-Fi had some incredibly boring tracks, whereas every track on I Choose Noise gets me.

ah… see jonas… that’s the problem… it IS to cinematic… the great thing about wide angle was that, over all, it was an artist’s album. it had amazing production, crazy fills, and a unique sound never really heard before. it flows beautifully from track to track and while it does change moods and such throughout, you still feel like you’re in the same place… and although WA was an artists album, it would have still worked as a movie soundtrack…. right after i heard it for the first time, i was like… i’d love to see LOTR (i hated that movie, but visually it was stunning) while listening to WA…

with i choose noise, i feel like it’s a movie soundtrack that’s attempting to pose as an album. yes, it IS very cinematic, and i’d go as far as to say TO cinematic. the album doesn’t feel like an album… it feels like songs i’d hear in a movie then go out and buy the soundtrack (which i wouldn’t do cause soundtracks bore me usually, hahaha). i feel like hybrid just took a bunch of tracks that they never used for movies, added a bit more to them, and dropped em on a disc. i don’t feel an cohesion through the album, nor do i find anything that really sparks my interest. as i was saying to slice one a before he heard it… it’s a sample album… if you hear 1-2 minute clips, you’re like… ooooo this is neat.. but when you realize that most of the songs are just those 1-2 minutes looped over and over again with nary a dramatic change during the time, it’s very disappointing.

so i guess what i’m trying to say is that i choose noise had moments where it was cool, but then it just loses that coolness because its so repetative.

hybrid released a masterpiece with wide angle and because of that, i’ll always love them… but i will never like i choose noise.

haha.

peace

slice two

oh… and we’re so glad you like our stuff thanks!
