DVD Version

Because the "Strongroom" (Orbital's London studio run by the unofficial "third member", their producer Mickey Mann) had capabilities for mixing surround audio they decided to make a DVD release of The Altogether. The DVD is very rich in content and has an extensive navigation that invites the viewer to explore and try out various things to find hidden features, for example in the Video to "Shadows" there are different angles available. The DVD features some fake funny commercials and an imaginary children's programme called "Play Factory" (also the video for "Waving Not Drowning"), is featured very prominently.

It features excellently mixed audio in stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. The three hidden bonus tracks "Meltdown", "Doctor?" and "Monorail" (not mentioned on the cover) are Dolby Digital 5.1 only.

1. "Tension" – 6:19
2. "Funny Break [One Is Enough]" – 3:57
