2000 Fold is Styles of Beyond's debut album, released on Bilawn Records in 1998 (then re-released in 1999 on SpyTech Records). This album was only released in an "edited version", whereas Megadef was only released in an "explicit version". 2000 Fold was out of print for several years, and was then only available as a download via iTunes. In July 2007, it was made available once again in CD format, on both the Projekt Revolution and SpyTech Records official web-stores.
