"Two Months Off" is the first single by Underworld from the album A Hundred Days Off, originally released in 2002. This track was one of the first songs that they released as a duo. The single peaked on the UK Singles Chart at number 12 as well as number two for three weeks on the US dance chart.[1]
A short spoken word vocal section can be heard above the track lead-in. The contributing artist for these vocals is Juanita Boxill, whose voice also features in "Little Speaker", track 5 of A Hundred Days Off.
Boxill is the namesake of separate Underworld single Juanita / Kiteless / To Dream of Love.
A stripped down and slightly sonically reworked version of the song's bridge features in And I Will Kiss and Caliban's Dream, songs written by Smith for the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.
A cover of the song by Techno Masters was featured in Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova 2, a music video game produced by Konami.
The King Unique mix is featured in EA Sports FIFA Football 2004's soundtrack.
