"Tick of the Clock" has been used in numerous Hollywood films, including Drive and Taken 2. Īlbum closer "Accelerator" contains an interpolation of chords from the album's title track. The guitar solo in "Healer" contains a musical quotation from Joy Division's " Shadowplay," from their 1979 album, Unknown Pleasures. " Running Up that Hill" is a cover version of the first track from Kate Bush's 1985 album, Hounds of Love. The words of "I Want Your Love" contain a reference to the song " 96 Tears" by ? & The Mysterians Accordingly, these opening two tracks, along with album closer "Accelerator," suggest that the album may be a concept album about a late night drive. It ends with a sample of a car driving off, and then segues into the title track. Opening track "The Telephone Call" contains samples from " Lady Operator" by Mirage and from Chromatics' own tracks "The Killing Spree" and "Let's Make This A Moment To Remember." It sketches out a plot involving a female protagonist who, after spending an evening at a nightclub, is about to drive home to meet her boyfriend.
The album's title may be a reference to a 1985 single ("Night Drive"/"Time Space Transmat") by Detroit techno pioneer Juan Atkins. Guitarist Adam Miller and multi-instrumentalist Johnny Jewel had been featured on the band's previous LPs. It is the first full-length Chromatics album to feature singer Ruth Radelet and drummer Nat Walker. With this album, Chromatics made a drastic departure from their previously punk sound, as they pursued a new direction reminiscent of Italo disco. The "Deluxe Edition" restores five tracks that had originally constituted Side D of the album, but had been scrapped before the original 2007 release date due to technical problems and time constraints. A limited print run of the double LP was pressed on colored vinyl: blue for Sides A and B, and red for Sides C and D. The label reissued an analogue remaster of the album as a "Deluxe Edition" in 2010, on both CD and double LP formats. Night Drive (alternatively known as Original Motion Picture Soundtrack IV) is the third studio album by Chromatics, released on Aug on the Italians Do It Better record label.
