Other Two & You was the better album, IMO. I didn't like what's her name singing on some songs from Superhighways.  Should've let Gillian handled ALL the vocals! She is quite capable and much better! Superhighways contained some gems though, just not enough to beat OT&Y.

I would have said that The Other Two & You was my fave, until recently when I've been listening to both a lot more(unlike Spotnik  ) - I like both albums. But I tried to burn a disc from the two of them last week & found that I discarded more of TOT&U than Superhighways. Having said that, the first song I discarded was 'you can fly' - that girl's voice gets on my nerves 
Steve: "...sometimes we will be writing and I’ll say; ‘we can’t do that…It sounds too much like New Order’ we can end up writing an old song! “Stop...this was on Low-Life”. “Oh yeah”’

In many ways The Other Two is the best NO spin-off. The first Electronic recd is probably the the best *record* by a NO side project, but after that Barney and JM seemed to run out of ideas and simply become New Order with something missing.
Gill and Steve really step out and make their own sound, distinct and separate from New Order. I'd say that TOTAY is my favourite of the two albums, some great songs and lovely hooks throughout. For example, the way that The Greatest Thing gently builds tension up to the first chorus, just up to the point where it feels a bit *too* linear, then releases it (around 1.45) with 'The says the strangest things'. That little melody under the vocals in the chorus is superb too. Selfish - oh my!! How I flipping love this song. The plain lyrical style (Someone I hate/she thinks she's great/and loves to state/the obvious)has the feel of an overheard pub conversation - that it is exactly what someone might *say* makes for a refreshing change from Barney's clunkiness. Little details, like the way the 'No sense of reason' hook is played instrumentally the first time around (on 1 minute) just make this track so magnificent.
Ninth Configuration - the sound of a thousand Saturday nights. They're all good : Spirit Level. Tasty Fish. Innocence - more Northern verite (Don't come here to clean up your conscience) and *that* ringing synth line at the end of the chorus.
Actually I love this album.
