What we noticed
- The program moves from pieces such as “As If” and “Drop” to later material including “Sinepost” and “North Point,” tracing several phases of the band rather than one album-length suite.
- “Drop” appears twice, once on its own and once inside a “Fanfare / All White / MC / Drop” sequence; “Hazard Profile” also returns in a longer Parts 1–4 version at the end.
- The tracklist places self-contained pieces beside linked sequences, then closes with an extended “Hazard Profile” rather than a newly introduced composition.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
