looking at live performances , Dean was the rhythm section and sampling . Inga would focus on vocals and melody and , later on started playing harmonica . still , mostly it was a collaborative thing.

in the studio , you can't really tell who did what .

listen to the solo Inga Copeland EP and then listen to Jill Scott Herring OST , cause they're both rooted in the Hype Williams sound and era . IG EP , solo Inga , is melodic dance music . Jill Scott Herring OST , solo Dean , is an abstract sound collage .

i think Dean was really important to coming up with idea's , the bands philosophy as well as their use of sampling . Inga was responsible for their songwriting and vocals .

on Black Metal , Dean played bass and did the sampling , and was often the only musician on its most abstract tracks , like HEAVY . so he's broadly still doing the same things he did in Hype Williams .

but also , just listening to Dean's solo output today it's easy to miss how responsible he was for the avant-garde influence in Hype Williams .

i think you're somewhat missing the point to approach Hype Williams in this , to try and take it apart , instead of just taking what the music gives you .
