Some types of music do not orchestrate well. In my view, it is usually something that has a driving, beat that sounds odd when this is done. When orchestrated, such music often takes on a "hooked-on classics" or "muzak" quality, which is not the best thing.
I think "Orchestral Tubular Bells" works quite well, except for the "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" bit, which has that beat, and does sound like "Hooked-On Classics".
There are some parts of Crises that I think would orchestrate quite well. I think it would be a challenge to orchestrate "The Watcher and the Tower", the "Crises" vocal section, and the motorcycle cops well.
