2020 reissue on red vinyl, handnumbered and limited to 500 - While Edan’s critically acclaimed debut, ‘Primitive Plus’, was a celebration of hip-hop’s golden age and a true throwback, his sophomore album, ‘Beauty And The Beat’, is a vast musical collage that contains many different influences; hip-hop, rock, pop, dusty breaks, hazy loops, luxurious off-kilter samples and curveball tempo changes that are all crafted into one cohesive piece of art. In 2015, FACT placed it at number 30 on the ""100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time"" list. In 2013 NME placed it at number 392 on the ""500 Greatest Albums of All Time"" list."
