The Altogether

The Altogether is Orbital's sixth studio album and was released in 2001. It features guest vocals by the Hartnolls' brother-in-law David Gray, a sampled Ian Dury, a sample from "Sober" by Tool and a version of the Doctor Who theme. It was Orbital's last studio album for FFRR and received a mixed critical reception. Describing the album shortly before it was released, Phil Hartnoll said, "Whereas Middle of Nowhere was written for a detached mood, for sitting in a field and listening to by yourself, The Altogether is for listening to at a party with your mates. That's what I take it to mean anyway. Paul thinks it's about not having any clothes on."As of 2001, it had sold 135,000 copies worldwide. As of 2004, the album had sold 58,000 copies in United States. more »

The time stamp on my forehead doesn’t have enough ink
It fades a little more with every thought that I think
Soak up the minutes that drip from the clock
Hush all the ticks before they start to tock
I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead
You pulled up the blankets to cover my head
I might be dreaming, or I might be dead
My heaven is fleeting, my history read
Setting a deadline, life clove you and me
But magic might happen if I cross the C
Nothing can last, but nothing is wrong
Don’t fear the past before it comes along
I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead
You pulled up the blankets to cover my head
I might be dreaming, or I might be dead
My heaven is fleeting, my history read
Time isn’t hiding, it’s just hard to find
Ours are the hours that aren’t defined
I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead
You pulled up the blankets to cover my head
I might be dreaming, or I might be dead
My heaven is fleeting, my history read
