№ 237 on The 250 Best Electronic Albums of the 20th Century
The Russian orchestra over breaks; absurd ambition, mostly earned
A Russian orchestra over breakbeats is exactly the kind of idea that should become unbearable. Wide Angle survives because Hybrid use the strings to open the tracks outward instead of simply making them bigger, and they never hedge the excess. Even the overreach feels composed.
№ 12 on The 10 Best Big Beat and Breaks Albums
Welsh breakbeat recorded with a Russian orchestra at Mosfilm. Cinematic in the way everyone else claimed to be.
