So what is it?

Is it a bootleg?
Is it french?

It's 106 miles to Chicago.
We got a full tank of gas,
half a pack of cigarettes.
It's dark and we are wearing sunglasses

Looks like a very good copy to me...

Looks European to me - comes in a card case with the skull and bones imprinted on the DVD...

Catalogue number (J-135) matches that sold in European/Japanese stores, and 'the pavement' is the DVD-affiliate of The Strongroom (Orbital's old studio).

So, I would say it's legit! :)

Most are, but The Altogether isn't - for some reason, the Americans were not allowed to play it! :)

Me neither, but these things are often reissued in different packaging. :)

Americans can play it, provided they actually get off their ass and get a copy. If you have a computer with a DVD player (and most of us do) you have not one excuse not to own this brilliant, brilliant DVD.

The Altogether is Orbital's most underrated album, and this DVD is the most underrated DVD ever. It's definitely up there with Kraftwerk's Minimum-Maximum and Underworld's Everything, Everything. And Autechre's Gantz Graf. Good news, though, The Altogether is much longer than the lattermost.
