Box contains some differences between its contents and the previously issued versions of each album. Apart from overall remastering of the music, several songs appear in slightly longer versions. Notably, the A1 and D1 songs exclusive to the vinyl version of Königsforst were appended to the end of that disc, marking their first digital appearance. Also, the first song of Oktember was replaced with Tal '90, a piece released on Kompakt's compilation Pop Ambient 2002, as the original piece is identical to the first piece of Königsforst.
