1. Factory Records Museum
Written by John Waring
Produced by The Gresham Flyers & Simon Trought
"Many of the best ideas come from dreams. The one about the Factory Records museum was especially vivid, and all I had to do upon waking was find a paper and pen and take dictation. Despite its chequered history and famously lean periods, Factory seems to be remembered with an air of celebration by all the people it touched. Hopefully, some of this is evident in our song." – John

2. Are 'Friends' Electric?
Written by Gary Numan
Produced by The Gresham Flyers & Simon Trought
"We mulled over what to do for this one since we've put a few covers in our live set before. Martin thought we'd be on a hiding to nothing covering The Arcade Fire, no-one was particularly enthused about relearning Echo Beach or Dreams Never End (New Order), and we'd pretty much dropped our cover of Springsteen's Candy's Room. But John plucked this inspired choice out of thin air and off we went. It's way better than Weezer's version." – Thom
