When nothing new is emerging, records labels often turn to the past in order to launch something "new" unto the public. So, since it's been over two years since \xB5-Ziq's last new album, Royal Astronomy, was released, Aphex Twin's Rephlex Records has decided to re-release the 'Ziq's debut full-length, Tango n'Vectif in a special 8th anniversary, double-disc edition.

n The album has been digitally remastered and repackaged with extensive liner notes detailing the recording of each song, and the original full-color artwork. It also features 10 tracks previously unreleased on CD, and three totally unreleased tracks from that era. Perhaps most importantly, the release will include all of the now-deleted R+S EP.

01 Tango N'Vectif
