History

In 2008, the first mention was made of Hybrid's then forth-coming 4th album, and was described as being recorded as a band, then electronically "destroyed". That same year, Hybrid released a compilation Soundsystem 01, which featured remixes of two tracks from the album, and later their first single from the album, The Formula of Fear, which was Hybrid's first official track with Charlotte James, who later went on to become a permanent member.

The album was technically finished in 2008, which consisted of 10 tracks, but they weren't satisfied with them, and didn't think it'd fit with them, calling the tracks Indie Rock. The best elements of the tracks were picked, and production restarted., but the problems continued, as they were having issues finding a direction, and it wasn't until the title track "Disappear Here" was finished, that they finally knew what they were going to do.[5] One of the scrapped tracks is believed to be "$50 Pistol" which appeared on the Soundsystem compilation. The track (itself a reworking of an unreleased remix of "Humvee Chase" by Harry Gregson-Williams) was reworked and released as "Empire". Several tracks were also made with John Graham, who sang on their 3rd album I Choose Noise, didn't make the cut, though some of them are said to be featured on John Graham's forthcoming second solo album.[6]

In 2009 the same year, the album was finally revealed, entitled "Disappear Here" [7] The revelation debuted with a video recording of the string arrangements for "Break My Soul".[8]

Guitarist Tim Hutton (who previously worked with Ian Brown and The Prodigy) was brought in, although his inclusion came late. He is said to have more input on the next album. The string arrangements were made by Andrew Skeet,[9] who also provided strings for the 2nd album Morning Sci-Fi, though Harry Gregson-Williams did write a few string arrangements for the album.[10] The arrangements themselves were composed by Charlotte James & Mike Truman.[11]

The first single "Break My Soul", was released on March 8, 2010, though the track was given away at the album's mini site. The same month, the 29th, the album itself was released and was met with favorable reviews. The second single "Can You Hear Me Now" was released on May 24, with the third single "Disappear Here" on November 1, and the last single "Original Sin" expected to be released on March 28th. All singles were accompanied by music videos, directed and edited by Mike Truman, and were made available on their website.[12]

A special "Widescreen Edition" was released on November 22, which contains alternative versions of some tracks from the album, as well as some new remixes by Hybrid themselves. The album was re-released yet again on October 24, 2011, as an instrumental only version.[13] Mike mentioned in an interview with Breakbeat Police, that they're already thinking about their next album, and that there won't be another 4-year gap, as with "Disappear Here".[14]

Reappear Here

Reappear Here is a very limited vinyl, containing five tracks (four of them so far exclusive to this release), including a new track called "All I See". It was given out as part of a contest to promote the official Disappear Here website and to thank those that were involved in the creation of Disappear Here. This was a 100-copy batch, although as with most pressings some extra copies were made. Currently there are 109 copies known in existence (108 autographed and numbered, and one unnumbered unsigned copy). 78 copies were given out at the discretion of Hybrid and Distinct'ive Records, and the remaining 30 were prizes as part of a Disappear Here promotion contest that ended on April 31,[clarification needed] 2010.[16] The winners were notified via email on August 5, 2010.
