Album Notes & Community Reviews

Departing slightly from the sprawling, cinematic techno of their peak 90s output, 'The Altogether' is a noticeably more fragmented and playful effort. The Hartnoll brothers heavily utilize quirky sampling, aggressive breakbeats, and eclectic guest appearances, resulting in a surprisingly diverse and occasionally manic electronic record.
