UrbThe Altogether is, all stated evidence to the contrary, a remarkable work. Why? Because it is the product of two brothers who, understanding that they can kid neither the audience nor themselves, mapped a musical course based on their root love -- musical energy -- and never strayed. [Sep 2001, p.147]
-
The duo's most commercial and downright joyous album to date.

May 4, 2015An excellent album... "Funny Break (One is Enough)", "Doctor?" and "Tension" are the best tracks from the album, the high-light of Orbital discography
