This record was initially caught up in the Italo revival and nu - disco hype, partly because of its connection to Glass Candy's Beatbox and the After Dark compilation. On closer listen, it's the smoky urban atmosphere and excellent songwriting that stand out. Chromatics later refined these elements on Kill For Love, but Night Drive has a unique, wide - eyed charm of a band new to synthesizers after years in the noise and experimental scene. Its cinematic quality is amazing; a top - selling art film is practically a 100 - minute tribute to it. The Kate Bush cover is a sweet club update, and tracks like 'Healer', 'Tomorrow Is So Far Away', and the title track are must - listens. This 10th anniversary edition has five extra tracks, mirroring the 2007 CD tracklist. It's remastered and pressed on 180g ivory double vinyl, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with inner sleeves printed with full album lyrics. Music label: Italians Do It Better 2018. A great late - night album of the 21st century so far, highly recommended.
To enjoy this Chromatics vinyl, just place it on your record player and start the playback. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on the record, which could affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping. When not in use, keep it in its deluxe gatefold sleeve to protect it from scratches. And remember, this is a special 10th anniversary edition, so handle it with care to preserve its value and the great music it holds.
