The Altogether is Orbital's sixth studio album and was released in 2001. It features guest vocals by Phil Hartnoll's 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. A notable fact about this album in particular is that it features a remix of the iconic Doctor Who theme titled “Doctor?”. This track later returned in a 2010 Glastonbury show set, featuring the 11th Doctor himself: Matt Smith as a special guest.
