The dance
act The Other Two are Stephen
Morris and Gillian Gilbert of New
Order. The band name refers to the fact that the other New
Order members, Bernard Sumner and Peter

Other Two record, the single "Tasty Fish," came out 1991 and peaked at
41 in the UK Singles Chart.
The Other Two's albums are The Other Two &
You (1993), on which Gilbert handled the vocals, and Superhighways
(1999), which also featured guest vocalist Melanie
Williams from the band Sub Sub on some tracks (Superhighways, You
