Clean Air Hybrid Electric Bus

I think I'm in love... this has been on repeat all afternoon. Yes, it's slight, inconsequential, b-side material. But dear God, is it an off-kilter, highly unusual earworm crying out for a much longer remix.
What is said in the background at 2:32, anyone make it out? "Big Boy"? Sounds like Chris?

I feel you, mate, I'm sitting here with it on loop, reading forum posts way past my bedtime. God, it's a groove.
I can't tell what's being said but it might be a programmed voice from the bus itself. It does sound as though there are samples of bus noises scattered throughout the song as well as doors closing at the end.

Listening again it might be "The vehicle", as in the tail end of "Stand clear of the vehicle", but really low and echoey in the mix. I agree, that sounds like electric bus samples popping up throughout, probably courtesy of Neil's phone recorder.

It could be a part of ‘dark techno’ album that never was. Or a part of Lost EP at least.

It's a shame Smash Hits isn't still going. This would have looked great as a pull-out centre page poster with the boys standing in front of it to stick on your bedroom wall

Fantastic track - Im sure Chris have enough material for Relentless part 2 and 3...if not more - he writes music constantly as I understood it from the interviews.
