Wide Angle

Though the late '90s witnessed the advent of dozens of progressive-trance DJs and producers, few attempted to record a production LP. The British team Hybrid delivered the goods with their full-length debut Wide Angle. Befitting the cinematic nod in the title, Hybrid often bedrocks their productions with film-music flourishes indebted both to traditional orchestration and the rock-based John Barry school of soundtracking; even when they're spinning through futuristic, warped trance with a roster of cutting-edge effects, there's an undeniably cinematic grandeur to these productions.

The special limited edition is a double-disc set that includes one disc of studio material and a bonus disc of live and previously unreleased tracks.
