This record was initially caught up in the Italo revival and nu - disco hype, thanks in part to its connection with Glass Candy's Beatbox and the After Dark compilation. On closer listen, it's the smoky urban atmosphere and great songwriting that truly shine. You might hear more Bruce Springsteen than Kano here. Chromatics later perfected their sound on Kill For Love, but Night Drive keeps the raw, wide - eyed charm of a band new to synthesizers after years in the experimental circuit. The album's cinematic quality is unmatched, and a top art - film of the decade is practically a tribute to it. The Kate Bush cover is a sweet club update, and don't miss the post - punk of 'Healer', the cabaret of 'Tomorrow Is So Far Away', or the sing - along title track. This is one of the best late - night albums of the 21st century. This 10th anniversary edition has the original 2007 CD tracklist plus five extra tracks, remastered and pressed on double vinyl. It comes in an 180g 'pink champagne' colored double vinyl pressing, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves showing the full album lyrics. Music label: Italians Do It Better 2020. Recommended.
To enjoy this album, simply place the vinyl on your turntable and start playing. Make sure your turntable is set up properly for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve carefully. Store the record in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. The deluxe gatefold sleeve and printed inner sleeves add to the charm, so handle them gently too. This 10th anniversary edition with remastered sound is a great addition to any music collection, perfect for late - night listening sessions.
