Notes
"Maths" originally from Album Title Goes Here (2012) "I Said" originally from 4×4=12 (2010) Nero 's remix of "Ghosts 'n' Stuff " and Madeon 's remix of "Raise Your Weapon " were originally released in 2009 and 2011, respectively.The deadmau5 vs Eric Prydz edit for "The Veldt" and the Michael Cassette remix for "Raise Your Weapon" were both initially recorded around 2012 and originally released around 2013, but neither were officially released before the album. The original track listing was meant to feature the Wolfgang Gartner collaboration "Animal Rights " instead of "Not Exactly", as well as a remix of "Word Problems" by Friend Within (which was not finished in time for the album's release) in place of Wax Motif's Remix of "Raise Your Weapon".
