As a huge fan of Hybrid, I eagerly awaited this CD, and I was disappointed to say the least when the CD arrived and the casing was cracked, and crushed in the corner. A rare damaged good from Amazon though I have to say. Anyway, thankfully the CD played and I'm so glad it did. I assume this single is a poster for the full album, and if so, the next album should be amazing.

It's so great to listen to an original Hybrid track, without worrying about the terrible singer murdering the musical arrangement (with the exception of Julee Cruise who sounded amazing in Wide Angle). This has always been my only criticism of Hybrid; they produce amazing music only to ruin a beautifully produced track by getting a singer who can't sing their way out of a paper bag. But hopefully, this will be a thing of the past with new permanent singer Charlotte James (who sings on this track).

The Formula of Fear is amazing from start to finish, the singing and harmonies beautiful, the rhythm is storming and the track is full of texture and atmosphere with some clever twists and turns.

The remixes on the disc are standard fare to be honest, but I was only really interested in the new unmolested track.

With this track, Hybrid are now a perfect team!

Well worth £3.90!
