Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 2000, Hybrid made quite a splash in the USA when they toured as the opening act for which artist or band?

Answer: Moby

Though already fairly popular in the UK, Hybrid was able to gain some attention in the USA with their opening act, consisting of the songs 'Kill City,' 'Altitude,' and 'Finished Symphony.'

2. What was the first Hybrid song to hit the charts in the UK?

Answer: 'Finished Symphony'

'Finished Symphony,' a highly emotive piece, is an orchestral/electronic fusion which results in a lush and enriching musical experience that really is beautiful, but impossible to describe - which is not unlike the vast majority of their other music. Featuring the 90-person Russian Federal Orchestra, 'Finished Symphony' hit the UK singles charts sometime in July 1999 and was followed a few months later by 'If I Survive,' featuring Julee Cruise on vocals.

3. Which of these songs is not on the second disc of 'Wider Angle'?

Answer: 'Beachcoma'

Beachcoma is track number four on the first disc. 'Wider Angle' was a special re-release of Hybrid's 'Wide Angle' CD, featuring a bonus disc with live performances and unreleased tracks.

4. The 2003 album 'Morning Sci-Fi' featured the legendary Peter Hook on bass guitar for a few songs. For which of these songs did Hook lend his talents to?

Answer: 'True to Form'

Peter Hook, formerly of the band New Order, also played bass guitar in the Hybrid song 'Higher than a Skyscraper'.

5. What uncommon instrument is heard in the song 'Snyper'?

Answer: Nose flute

Nose flutes are made of different types of wood (often ash tree or maple tree) and are cut to have a nose-like shape at the end. They are between 25-45 centimeters long and have six fingerholes on the upper side and one on the lower.

6. The album 'Remix and Additional Production by...' contains a remix of what song by The Future Sound of London?

Answer: 'Papua New Guinea'

The other songs listed were also remixed on the album, but only 'Papua New Guinea' was by The Future Sound of London. 'Glorious' was made by Andreas Johnson, 'Bodyrock' by Moby, and 'Never Gonna Come Back Down' by BT.

7. Fill in the lyrics, from the song 'Fatal Beating': "What's that lying in the _____, so still? An empty shell of self..."

Answer: leaves

'Fatal Beating' features Julee Cruise on vocals and is on the 'Wide Angle' album. Other songs Julee sings on the album are 'If I Survive', 'I Know', 'Dreaming Your Dreams', and 'High Life'.

8. On the cover of 'Morning Sci-Fi', what thing can be seen in the sky?

Answer: A rainbow

The cover depicts what's possibly a barren planet, with odd trees, dirt, dark clouds and a contrasting rainbow.

9. Which of these songs did Mike Truman write alone for Hybrid?

Answer: 'Gravastar'

Mike Truman, often called the heart of the band, wrote 'Gravastar', along with every single original song Hybrid has produced (mostly with the other members of the band, of course). Truman is known as a very talented producer throughout the industry and spent six years as a programmer for productions for labels like Distinct'ive Breaks and Big Life.

10. What special item is included with 'Morning Sci-Fi'?

Answer: A DVD

It's a bonus DVD which includes interesting things like special live performances, a documentary, interviews, and a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of 'Morning Sci-Fi'.
