Background
The Boxset was released as a 4000-copies limited-edition, in the form of bolt-fastened mechanical press, made of a ½-inch medium-density fibreboard, designed by the design studio Oscar & Ewan,{{Cite web|url=http://www.oscarandewan.se/Amon-Tobin-Boxset.php|title=Amon Tobin - Box set – Oscar & Ewan|website=oscarandewan.se|language=en|access-date=2018-09-19}} and produced by the packaging production studio Think Tank.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thinktankcreative.london/work/amon-tobin-deluxe-box-set/|title=Amon Tobin Deluxe Box Set|website=thinktankcreative.london|language=en|access-date=2018-09-19}} The release contains 6 10" vinyls, 7 CDs, 2 DVDs, and posters. 10" sleeves, CD/DVD housing, and poster all have holes in the each corner which allow them to be passed on to the bolts.{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Amon-Tobin-Amon-Tobin/release/3618346|title=Amon Tobin - Amon Tobin|publisher=Discogs|language=en|access-date=2018-09-19}}
Most of the included material has not been released earlier on a physical format. Additionally, the set contains a registration information for further downloadable material "we couldn't fit in the box": ambient tracks, all material from the vinyl EPs, the score for the 2006 comedy-drama horror film Taxidermia, as well as the collection of ISAM remixes by Frank Riggio.{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/release/3624427|title=Amon Tobin - Amon Tobin (Bonus Boxset Material)|publisher=Discogs|language=en|access-date=2018-09-19}}
Parallel to the release of the Boxset, in May 2012, Tobin performed tracks from ISAM and classic material in the audiovisual ISAM: Live show at the O2 Brixton Academy in London, and at the FutureEverything Festival in Manchester, after sold out shows at the Roundhouse and London Forum, which featured visual backdrops by V Squared Labs.{{Cite news|url=https://xitelabs.com/portfolio/amon-tobin/|title=Amon Tobin ISAM WORLD TOUR - Xite Labs|work=Xite Labs|access-date=2018-09-19|language=en-US}}
