Two is the second album by British electronic group Utah Saints,[7] released on 23 October 2000 in the UK and 14 August 2001 in the US and Canada. The album features guest vocalists Michael Stipe ("Sun", "Punk Club", "Rhinoceros", "Wiggedy Wack"), Chuck D ("Power to the Beats"), Edwin Starr ("Funky Music") and Guy Leger ("Sick").

"Love Song" peaked at No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart.[1]

Critical reception

Spin praised the album's take on trance, writing that it is "spun with a lithe touch that gives the awe-kissed micromelodies of 'Massive' and 'Lost Vagueness' a sense of rapture uncoiling."[2]
