The band was reformed once in the 1990s (featuring Tomoyasu Hotei on guitar and Christopher Novak singing) releasing Sputnik: The Next Generation and once again in 2001 with Martin Degville and Neal X, which resulted in the release of Piratespace.
The reformed Sigue Sigue Sputnik continues to play live, and it has also produced a number of remixes of other artists' work.
In 1995, James and X formed a new version of the band with Christopher Novak (vocals) and John Green (keyboards).
Their song "Cyberspace Party" was a hit in Japan; an album, Sputnik: The Next Generation, was also released there, selling 50,000 copies.
It is a fascinating take on the Sigue Sigue Sputnik sound but also includes some tracks more reminiscent of George Michael and T. Rex. The lead singer who is now known as Sam Butcher (who almost became the new Boy George in 2006 then went on to join Paleday) does a great job on this album and it is well worth getting.
