Halcyon (Best of) is a compilation album by the British electronica duo Orbital featuring a selection of singles from their career together, it was released in 2005.
Though the group's "official" greatest hits album Work 1989-2002 had been released three years earlier, in 2005 the band's parent label Warner decided to release a Platinum series of "Best of" albums. Some Warner artist albums were dropped to permanent low prices but most had an album specifically created for this series. The album was specifically created for and released in the North American market; Orbital's official website Loopz even goes so far as to dub the album "USA Best of".
Some retailers also list the album as Halcyon: The Platinum Collection.
