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 »

Betty smiled when they told her she might make it
She said it's wild to think my life could be this way
You know fame is fortune's brother
Right when any working mother with a child
Gets a chance and say she'll take it
So Betty smiled
Betty cried when they called back for a callback
She nearly died when she heard the judge's voice
You know fame's on the horizon
Like a star that's slowly rising with the tide
Feeling pride in all its choices
So Betty smiled
Betty smiled
Got her makeup done and hair brushed out and styled
Go on out and knock 'em dead
Just sing the song inside your head
And drive 'em wild, get 'em riled
Betty smiled
Betty's trial was by fire and fear and fashion
All the while she could see them in their chairs
Now the fame is their decision
And she has to share their vision, at least try
Or it's goodbye to all that passion
Betty lies on the bed feeling nothing
Though she tried, in the end she felt the sting
Then her girl comes rushing in
Sporting some unruly grin
Saying mom, sing the song that sounds like springtime
So Betty smiled
Betty smiled
Got her makeup done and hair brushed out and styled
Go on out and knock 'em dead
Just sing the song inside your head
And drive 'em wild, get 'em riled
Betty smiled
Drive 'em wild, get 'em riled
Betty smiled
Drive 'em wild, get 'em riled
Betty smiled
