Hybrid is: the debut album by, Canadian guitarist Michael Brook in collaboration with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. It was released in 1985 on Editions EG.

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.

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."
