The Remote Part released 2002 (see 2002 in music) is the fourth album by Scottish band Idlewild.
It's much more commercial sound (when compared to previous releases), only ever aided it in becoming Idlewild's most successful album sales-wise yet. The singles were 'You Held the World in Your Arms', 'American English' and 'Live in a Hiding Place'.
