    Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland, also known as Hype Williams, release their debut Hyperdub LP, 'Black Is Beautiful', after albums for Hippos In Tanks, De Stijl and Carnivals.

    Studiously naive melodies, artfully broken drum machine patterns, disturbed funk and crunched, narcotic rap designed for sheer, adulterated bliss. Wicked!

    CD comes housed in opaque "studio master"-style polyurethane box with red insert sheet.


    LP is a limited edition pressing on red vinyl with red labels, housed in red inner bag and embossed sleeve.
