'''''Dextronaut''''' is the first album by the [black metal](/source/black_metal) band [Velvet Cacoon](/source/Velvet_Cacoon), released in 2002 via [peer-to-peer](/source/peer-to-peer) platforms. The band claims to have originally recorded and released the album in 1998, but this has been verified by SGL as a lie.

''Dextronaut'' was re-mastered and re-released as a double disc set by [Full Moon Productions](/source/Full_Moon_Productions) in December 2006. The first disc does not include tracks 8 and 10. The second disc is three ambient tracks. The discs were lost in the mail, but were later recovered and shipped out again.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2007-03-30 |title=VELVET CACOON: 'Dextronaut' Lost And Found |url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/velvet-cacoon-dextronaut-lost-and-found/ |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=BLABBERMOUTH.NET |language=en}}</ref>

In 2010, Khrysanthoney released the album as it was originally made with no remastering and with all ten tracks included. This release did not include the second disc of ambient songs.
