Reissued for its 25th anniversary, Swordfish returns to wax with a deluxe 3xLP edition remastered at Metropolis Studios and pressed on green vinyl.

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.

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.
