New Forms is the debut album by the drum and bass act Roni Size / Reprazent and was released in 1997. The double-disc set was the winner of the Mercury Music Prize in 1997,[4] and often cited as their magnum opus. In the UK, the first disc was also released by itself, while the US only got the 2CD version with the bonus track of "Electricks". Two different vinyl versions exist: the most common pressing is a 4LP version comprising most of the first CD; and the other pressing is a 5LP set that consists of the second CD, replacing "Intro" with "Heroes" and "Digital", which are appended to the end.[5]
A companion remix album, Replica, was released. It includes "Western", the UK b-side of the "Brown Paper Bag" single.
The album went on to be re-recorded as New Forms² in 2008.

[edit] New Forms²
New Forms² is a 2008 remake of the original New Forms album. Roni Size has described it as having a "new coat of armour added to the original tracks".[6] The album contains four new songs: "Heart to Heart", "Less is More", "Don't Hold Back" and "Encore", while omitting several of the songs from the original pressing. The majority of the record features edited versions of previous tracks, with segues throughout. The most drastic cuts occur to "Brown Paper Bag" and "Let's Get It On", which are reduced by over five minutes each; the latter becoming a simple ambient interlude.
