Autechre has described the sound of the 2016/2018 set as "quite different" from the 2014/2015 set, saying that the newer set is "a little bit slower, and a little bit more focused on the sound than the beat ... a lot of the sequencing is still very complex, but it's a lot of curves rather than discrete events ... it's quite difficult to categorize ... we just think of it as Autechre." The set was intentionally designed so that it could be performed in both traditional music venues/clubs and seated concert halls. The Ireland date was held in Dublin's National Concert Hall.{{cite web|last=Sweeney|first=Eamon|title=Autechre: 'Something happens when you listen to music in the dark'|work=Irish Times |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/autechre-something-happens-when-you-listen-to-music-in-the-dark-1.3558048|date=14 July 2018|accessdate=1 August 2021}} The recordings are accompanied by individualized artwork produced by The Designers Republic.
