Recorded at 013, Tilburg, Holland on October 18th, 2015. All material contained herein is 100% live. There are no overdubs of any kind. Live album (Tilburg, 18.10.2015), sold only during the concerts from Towards The Blue Horizon Tour 2017 Issued in gatefold mini-LP sleeve pack (every disc in separate cardboard sleeve). From the band: "It was a remarkable concert. During the "Love, Fear and the Time Machine Tour 2015", the band were in excellent shape, and although we were promoting our more "song-oriented side", we played such compositions as "Hyperactive" or "Egoist Hedonist". On top of that, there is a 20-minute version of "Escalator Shrine" and a special, unique version of "The Same River" with a modified intro. The fact that it was one of the last concerts with Piotr Grudziński makes it even more emotional and memorable."
