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, 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.
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. Its original incarnation has as of September 2011 sold 325,000 copies in the United Kingdom since its release.

Famous quotes containing the word forms:
“And what avails it that science has come to treat space and time as simply forms of thought, and the material world as hypothetical, and withal our pretension of property and even of self-hood are fading with the rest, if, at last, even our thoughts are not finalities, but the incessant flowing and ascension reach these also, and each thought which yesterday was a finality, to-day is yielding to a larger generalization?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
