Super Highways is the second album by New Order members Gillian Gilbert and Stephen Morris under the name the Other Two. It was released in 1999 six years after their début, and a year after New Order reformed. Four tracks were co-written by Melanie Williams, who also sang lead on two of them ("You Can Fly" and "One Last Kiss") and backing vocals on the title track. The album was re-released in January 2010 by LTM Recordings,{{cite web|url=http://www.ltmrecordings.com/theothertwocat.html |title=The Other Two - Biography |publisher=Ltmrecordings.com |accessdate=2014-06-03}} and in 2020 by Factory Benelux.{{Cite web|url=https://news.factorybenelux.com/2020/02/the-other-two-super-highways-fbn-390.html|title=Factory Benelux: THE OTHER TWO / Super Highways / FBN 390}}
