Album

Blue Album's title recalls the informal names of Orbital's first two, self-titled albums, known colloquially as the Green Album and the Brown Album. "You Lot" samples a speech by Christopher Eccleston from Russell T Davies' The Second Coming.

The result of searching for the track "Transient" on google search shows the lyrics for the song "Pay Per View" (Track 4 from The Altogether). This is an obvious error by Google, as this track does not have any lyrics.
