Emerging in the late '80s with what has become a classic choon of the dance genre, Chime, Orbital have sustained a career in their chosen field whilst watching many of their contemporaries such as The Orb and The Shamen bugger off to obscurity. Formed by two brothers, Phil and Paul Hartnoll, in the ensuing ten years they released five albums, often changing styles markedly from year to year, yet which were always innovative and able to be appreciated without necessitating any intake of illegal substances.

Earlier this year came their sixth long-player, The Altogether, which is possibly their most eclectic, and also accessible, work yet. Anything but as one-dimensional as many 'artists' in the field (half of which are simply sad plonkers with an Atari ST, too much money for equipment and not enough talent to use it properly), Orbital's creativity even stretches to sampling the likes of Tool and The Cramps, and styles vary from standard four-on-the-floor DOOF to the quite lovely and ethereal to what could only be described as some sort of mutant techno-skiffle-DOOF.

So, here's the DVD accompaniment. Rather than just plopping some dodgy clips onto a little shiny disc and sending it off to market, Orbital decided upon taking a much more hands-on approach. They personally remixed all the tracks into 5.1, and went to the effort of having proper clips made for each song by proper directors, rather than just stuffing the disc full of those same old, same old tired swirly computer graphics usually associated with dance music.
