I understand the sentiment of the Night Bus genre and agree that it's generally well named; it evokes a certain sort of feeling—long pans of America's darkened interstate, headlights refracting off the window, alone among many (god-willingly) ear-budded passengers—but I've got to say, it really looks at the reality of the night bus through rose-colored glasses. Taking the night bus sucks. Almost as bad as the last, local train to New Haven on Metro North. This Night Bus II Mix, by Montreal producer CFCF, however, does not, and it will get you through many a long, tiring journey, existential or otherwise.
