everytime we talk about orbital, we say how good in sides are or the green and brown album... but we also say that the altogether is a weak album.... well I am now with it... and I would like to ask the expert: why is this album not good? cos I kind of enjoy it |

I haven't heard The Altogether that much. I like Technologicque Park from the xXx soundtrack. They were in the movie too, I was totally shocked. I had no idea, but I recognized those lights on their heads :) -P |

I can enjoy the altogether too, but compared with the other orbital work, this is their weakest album. It sounds too poppy and not original imo. and I miss that special orbital touch. There's a few exceptions on the album. |

Ive always enjoyed it, it just doesnt seem to have much of a theme. Like insides.. that was a overall powerfull electronic record.. its great, so are the others. the altogether is a good one, but its not as good because of this fact. |

At first I didnt like it, but now I really like it. Compared to other orbital though it's weak, but by itself it's a really good album =) The 2nd song on the 1st disc has a little halcyon feel, kinda sorta maybe. |

Personally I think that Insides was the last good release but then again I haven't listened to middleofnowhere and the altogether that much. I discovered autechre and afx and kinda abandonned orbital for I while... |

Agreed with the general jist of where this conversation is going: Better than some of the pretentious crap that was being served in 2001, but as an Orbital album, lacking in the album and ideas department... But let me bring up one more point: This was Orbital's last album with FFRR (London Records), who had signed them to a six album contract way back in 1990 (the year of "Chime"). Orbital had been wanting to get away from them for some time, to concentrate more on what THEY wanted to do, namely movie soundtracks. So "The Altogether" can be viewed as a two-fingered salute to a record company who really looked at Orbital as a hit machine, which they gladly fulfilled, than album-by-album artists. Poppy stuff, which in view of the other artists also with London, is basically Orbital saying: "Hey, we'll give you your hits, but we'll do it OUR way." My 2 cents on one of most important and commercially-viable acts of the last 10 years. Here's best wishes for ten more... O=w00t! |
