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 Can Fly, One Last Kiss).

Other soundtrack work includes Cold Feet, Making Out and series two of Cracker. The Other Two created music for the UK TV programme Reportage, but this was credited as New Order.
