No-Man’s sixth studio album, 'Schoolyard Ghosts', is scheduled for release on KScope/Snapper Records on 12th May 2008 as an double CD/DVD-Audio package with 5.1 surround sound.

Compared to its predecessor (2003's atmospheric ‘Together We're Stranger’) ‘Schoolyard Ghosts’ shows the band moving towards an altogether purer and more personal place, far removed from the art pop/indie dance experiments of its acclaimed 1993 One Little Indian debut release, ‘Loveblows & Lovecries’.

HHB returns to Musikmesse/Prolight and Sound with an innovative new professional universal DVD/CD player and a ground breaking new dual drive CD recorder.

The UDP-89 universal DVD/CD player combines broadcast-quality audio and video replay, a full complement of video and audio outputs and a massive feature set to create a compact 1U rack mounting player that systems integrators and AV professionals can install with complete confidence.

With a sonic performance rivalling that of high-end audiophile players, the UDP-89 is the only DVD player on the market equipped with balanced stereo and surround sound outputs with a built-in preamp for direct connection to an active 5.1 or stereo speaker system.

The ultimate in digital video quality comes courtesy of an HDCP-compliant HDMI output and superb analogue picture quality is assured by six 14-bit 165MHz video DACs. Both 480p/576p Standard Definition and 720p and 1080i upscaled High Definition are available from the HDMI and component outputs.

Features including professional cueing functions, DVD-Audio and SACD compatibility, RS232 and touchscreen X-Y coordinate control equip the UDP-89 for use in a wide range of applications and demanding installations in which consumer DVD players simply won’t cut it.
