Warp announce the re-release of two defining albums of mid-Nineties electronic music, The Sabres Of Paradise’s Sabresonic and Haunted Dancehall. With the full collaboration of surviving members Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns, and in partnership with the estate of the late Andrew Weatherall, they’re being reissued in new, CD and double-LP “classic” editions, remastered by Matt Colton. The new remasters are available on digital services from today as a preview of the pristine audio contained on the forthcoming vinyl and CD editions. Sabresonic contains 'Smokebelch II (Beatless Mix)' for the first time on the 2LP edition, while Haunted Dancehall contains 'Theme' for the first time.

The releases come alongside their first tour in over three decades. The live version of The Sabres Of Paradise – an incarnation that never featured Weatherall (he preferred to DJ either side of the band’s sets) – is back on the road, playing venues from London’s Fabric to Sydney Opera House via a summer of festival appearances. As Kooner and Burns explain, there’s not so much unfinished business – The Sabres Of Paradise ran for as exactly long as they needed to, winding up after a final live show at Tokyo’s Liquid Room in May 1995. But there is new business.
