Trivia

There are some soundboards from the 14/15 tour which was not released with the compilation, notably Glasgow (2014), Minehead @ Bloc 2015, Barcelona @ Sonar 2015, Amsterdam @ Dekmantel Festival 2015, Manchester (2015) and London (2015).[1]
Sean mentioned that there's DMX drum sound in the 2015 live shows "but nobody ever comments on them". [2]
For the Incunabula, Amber and Tri Repetae reissues, a copy of AE_LIVE_GRAFENHAINICHEN_170715 was also provided.[3]
Some sets that were highlighted by Sean in interviews were the Los Angeles set for the LA times[4] as well as the Orlando and Montreal sets for the Hanalgig AMA[5]. Although Sean also noted the New York gig "was terrible".
