Paul Oakenfold – Swordfish (Original Soundtrack) [2025 Reissue]
Label: New State Entertainment
Format: 3xLP on Green Vinyl

Reissued for its 25th anniversary, Swordfish returns to wax with a deluxe 3xLP edition remastered at Metropolis Studios and pressed on green vinyl. Originally released in 2001 alongside the Joel Silver-produced film starring Hugh Jackman, John Travolta, Halle Berry, and Don Cheadle, this soundtrack showcases Paul Oakenfold at the height of his powers—blurring cinematic intensity with club-ready electronics.

The score features original compositions by Oakenfold and film composer Christopher Young, alongside Oakenfold’s remixes of NER*D’s “Lapdance”, Afrika Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock”, and Muse’s “New Born”. Additional appearances from Lemon Jelly, Dope Smugglaz, and Jan Johnston round out a diverse, high-energy collection.

A landmark release in electronic music and soundtrack culture, Swordfish has become highly collectible, with original pressings fetching hundreds online. This 2025 edition celebrates the soundtrack's enduring legacy, coinciding with the new 4K UHD Blu-ray reissue of the film.

Often hailed as the Godfather of Electronic Music, Paul Oakenfold has earned over 110 million streams, 5 million albums sold worldwide, and three GRAMMY nominations. Swordfish remains a crucial part of that legacy—futuristic, propulsive, and unforgettable.
