"I'm Still Awake" .. "Gravastar" --
Hybrid

Morning Sci-Fi (2003) is the second studio album by breakbeat trance producers Hybrid. Hybrid is a British electronic music group based in Swansea, comprising Mike Truman and Chris Healings, and most recently adding Charlotte James, completing their 2010 lineup. "Gravastar" / "Celebrity Science" is a single, in support of Hybrid's then upcoming second album. "Gravastar" / "Celebrity Science" was given a limited release, and is therefore rare. "Celebrity Science" isn't included on Morning Sci-Fi or any other Hybrid album for that matter, but was featured (along with "Gravastar") in an edited form as part of the in-game soundtrack to the PC game F1 Challenge '99-'02, which was released in 2003. "Gravastar", on this single, is longer than on Morning Sci-Fi by over two minutes. The single was later released on iTunes on June 26, 2008. The album includes a hidden track titled "Lights Go Down Knives Come Out," which is hidden in the 'pregap' of the first indexed track and can be accessed by rewinding from the beginning of the first track. Hiding a track in this manner is also known as the Track 0 method. It is sometimes possible to rip the hidden track "Lights Go Down, Knives Come Out", by using the Exact Audio Copy (EAC) program, using the "Copy Range" function or DBpoweramp (depending on your CD drive)...

 

"Morning Sci-Fi"

Tracks 7, 8
"In The Shadow, In The Light" .. "Following The Sun" -- Enigma

Above two tracks were taken from Voyageur, an album created by the musical project Enigma. It is Enigma's fifth album and released in 2003. Voyageur was considered to be Enigma's most different album ever created, due to Enigma's drastic changes in sound as compared to the previous four albums. The project's signature shakuhachi flutes, Gregorian chants and tribal chants found on the earlier albums were all but gone on Voyageur. Only a few samples of previous works are retained; a familiar reversed cymbal rhythm appears in "Look of Today" (ML #380), while "Incognito" (ML #378) contains the chorus of previous hit "Sadeness" (ML #163) buried in the bridge of the song. The "Enigma foghorn" also appears at the opening of the record. This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions. "Following The Sun" was the second track released from the album. A "special package" edition with a transparent CD cover, with the album art printed on the inside of the CD case and partly on the CD itself, and a ring-shaped booklet placed under the CD, was also issued...

Even though it didn't go further than #25 on the UK Singles Chart, staying nine weeks there. "Don't Leave Home" deals with drug addiction. It is written and sung from the unusual point of view of the drug singing to the person who is addicted to it. It was originally a demo recorded for her 1999 album No Angel that was instead included on Life for Rent. "Sand in My Shoes" was the fourth and final single from the album. The song became an American club hit reaching number-one on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. It also, debuted and peaked at number 29 in the UK...
