Which is the better song in your opinion?

It's a hard one for me. I think it's a tie.

Also, did Gillian play all the keyboard parts in VP?

Vanishing Point easily, someone like you is cack.

According to the Sound On Sound article at the time of technique, Barney was main writer for keys and guitar. I'll email you a .pdf of the article if you want.

I'm actually quite a fan of Someone Like You, but I've got to give it to Vanishing Point.

'Someone Like You' - far better written and produced.

Vanishing Point:love:

(However, 'Someone like you' isn't so much of a bad song...it's one of the better songs on 'Get Ready', IMO.)

Like comparing a Mercedes to a Masserati (sp).

Both great, but in this case no question.

The instrumental break in the middle of Vanishing Point, with it's lovely subtle break, gets me every time. I'm sure it inspired everything that Paul Oakenfold ever did. It's definitely in my top 15 NO songs (or top 18 if you're greedy).

I don't really like Someone Like You. The backing vocals irritate me for a start.

Vanishing Point - always been one of my fave NO tracks.

Someone Like You doesn't really do very much to me at all. :laugh:

I thought that the sequenced parts were composed by Steve and Gillian for "Making Out", then it was turned into a New Order song.

The synth bass part sounds like it was composed by Steve with the music software "M".

I think you might be right. Certainly the second series of making out had the odd bit of music that appeared on The Other Twos first album and a re-recorded Vanishing Point for the play out.
