issued an expanded re-release of the album. In a press release, the label stated:
- [The] fact remains that "Adventures In Foam" was a really good record, one that deserved to be heard, so when Ninja were offered an opportunity to re-release it, they jumped at the chance. Not least, because a rather unscrupulous company in the States have been circulating a version of the record with a changed tracklist, different (and unapproved) cover art and mis-titled tracks.
The Ninja Tune editions' tracklists are identical to those of the original Ninebar editions, but the CD comes with a second disc comprising the following tracks:
- "The Brazilianaire" – 6:20
- "4 or 6" – 5:40
- "Mars Brothers" – 5:06
- "Popsicle" – 4:37
- "The Light" – 5:15
