Notes

CD also contains a hidden bonus track - "Everything Is Brand New" (track 0). To listen to it, just go to the first track and rewind it, you'll see it start going into the negative numbers.

Track 3 is misspelled "I Chose Noise" on the sleeve and in the notes.

Review by aristotacoma Oct 28, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
I first heard this on radio some days ago, and recorded with analog cassette player (the analog natural noise gives a texture, and it doesn't have the feel of being, to the same extent, a mere 'copying', but allows the music to become more known). It is, within the genre, perhaps the best I have heard so far. I hope that the willingness to experiment aesthetically will also, with the perfume of excellence, approach the notion of experimenting with the mechanical rhythm which is still dominant in modern music -- and, in a powerful way, bring in the arrythmical. But let's hear all Hybrid is doing first!
Review by DJuno Sep 26, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
In view of Hybrids last album I'm stunned like ever before by this "I Choose Noise". I really loved the "Wider Angle" album for its string arrangements, and MY GOD I'm glad they've started building vividly harmonic and mellow tracks again. This time with a slightly dedicated tonus towards modern musicality other than mindless dancefloor fillers.

John Grahams appearance on "Until Tomorrow" is nothing but awesome. This phenomenal piece of music combines a moody guitar anthem with thick clouds of stringent melodics and effective vocals. This is by far the best track of the album.

Other tracks worth mentioning for their unique foundation of strings, breakbeats and random appearance of vocals: "Dogstar", "I Choose Noise", "Hooligan Spirit", "Choke", "Keep It In The Family" and "Just For Today".
