Hybrid (Michael Brook album)

Hybrid is an album by Michael Brook, with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.[4] A specialist in timbre and texture, Brook pioneered the infinite guitar—a guitar outfitted with a feedback transducer to produce non-decaying sustain of any note—which makes its first notable appearance on this album.[5]

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that the album "includes hints of Middle Eastern singing and African drumming, subsumed into sustained sounds from Mr. Brook's guitar and Brian Eno's keyboard, all in a misty, faraway sound mix."[6]
