Some music is just made to fit certain types of weather and different times of year. If you are experiencing a dreary, misty, cool and damp night (or are watching a David Lynch movie with the sound turned off), stick on Chromatics seminal 2007 album "Night Drive", it will just fit and encapsulate your mood. Chromatics really are the jewel in the crown that is
Italians Do It Better; a label full of nostalgia, heavy reverb and a burgoening roster of fantastic music. Apparently upon it's first release, label owner Johnny Jewel under increasing demand from an expectant public pressed and released the demo version as a full album. Late last year the decision was made to remaster and repress the album together with original demos missed from the original pressing. The new version included the sleepy club tracks of 'I Want Your Love' and 'Night Drive' and the haunting Kate Bush cover 'Running Up That Hill'. The added tracks are somewhat darker and obscure but add balance and depth to the album, with the final track Accelerator hinting that the journey that the album has taken you on is coming to its conclusion and the credits are about to roll with the car speeding into the distance.
