Release
The album was re-released on vinyl in January 2009 by Plain Recordings. Two versions are available: a Limited Edition (1000) green vinyl, with a bonus 7" featuring "Platypus" and two songs by then-unknown Secret Chiefs 3 (then called Secret Chiefs Trio), and a standard black vinyl without the 7".
Disco Volante spawned a number of officially unreleased demos (circulated on internet peer-to-peer sharing networks): "Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz", "Coldsore" and "Spy". "Coldsore" featured portions later used in "Love on the Event Horizon". "Spy" didn't feature on the release at all. The vocal effect in this song (at 4.48) is very similar to the voice of Alpha 60 in Jean-Luc Godard's sci-fi film noir Alphaville, using a mechanical voice box to create the effect.
