Trivia

The Helsinki soundboard was first released on October 4th, 2022 as "AE_LIVE_HELSINKI_110922_LTD", exclusively to attendants of the show due to issues with the sound system. Around a third into the show small glitches were starting to materialise, which then progressively became more apparent until the last third of the show was plagued with loud pops and audio dropouts. Explanation for the issues reigned in on it being due to poor subwoofers and system clock drift such that the heavy subbass in the set caused a coil short circuit in the speakers.[1][2] Due to the quick release, the soundboard was the raw recording, with no mastering.
The CAT number, WARP444, was likely specifically requested by Autechre, to reference the song "444" off their first album, Incunabula.
The hyphen added to the end of the title shows the possibility of the 2023/2024 sets being added at a later date.
