2013 album from one of the most talented artists of the French Electro scene. Kavinsky has played everywhere, opening for Daft Punk on their last worldwide tour. Kavinsky is also a Comics character, immediately recognizable with his Teddy Jacket, jeans, sneakers, sunglasses and his cigarette. The brilliant album Outrun is produced by rising French DJ/producer Sebastian and Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. Kavinsky's single 'Nightcall' was featured in the opening credits of the film Drive, and became a big hit internationally soon after, with sales/downloads over 28 million to date.

So I most definitely recommend this seller
New album, not a scratch, perfectly packed, arrived in time without delays. So I most definitely recommend this seller.My only (small) regret is with the album itself: a download code or a CD is usually provided inside the LPs these days so you can have the electronic file as well. To be fair it was not advertised as being included so it is no one mistake, it is down to the major or the artist to include it. So I got what I wanted and give it 5 stars, hoping that Kavinsky will provide the mp3 files with his next LP releases.

This album is amazing When I first heard the first track on youtube ...
"Im giving you an amazon review to tell you how I feel..."Simply put: This album is amazingWhen I first heard the first track on youtube by album surfing and the man said "When our hero emerged he and the car had become one..."I laughed so hard, then everything that comes after that is not only just as 80's sounding but it sounds like lightning bolts are coming through your speakers no joke listen to "Protovision" on YouTube.I advise everyone to look up the album and listen to it once before buying it... that way you can make a smart decisionAnd everyone I've had the privilege of sharing the song "Nightcall" with immediately loves itThe whole album is like a story centered around a zombie teenager who died as a kid in a car accident and comes back to make music. It's entertaining (The first song) it's reckless (Protovision) and its defiantly better than whats probably playing on your radio...So go listen and hopefully the Testarossa driving zombie won't find you...

packing this much awesome into a cd must take a lot of work.
amazing tracks. this cd is great, the booklet that comes with it is steller featuring amazing 80's like images that really speak to the feel of this music.to sum up the sound of these tracks: just take the best parts and sounds of the 80's and throw it in the modern technology add a hint of dub step in just the right places. kinda feels like what would happen if daft punk was killed in a hit and run and left on the side of a road and came back as a zombie who drove 80's cars.

Worth the shot in the Dark. Amazing Album!
This is literally my first Electronic album. I first heard Nightcall (probably with so many other people) from the Drive Soundtrack and immediately fell in love with that sound of electronica. I've been poking around on youtube listening to other songs from this artist when at work. Some are calming, the other are good if you want to "jam out" on your stereo system, and others are good for jogging. From the sound and the very 80s story the album conveys, it's a nostalgic piece of work. So after taking a gander and I decided to buy this physically with the AutoRip service from Amazon to listen to it at work immediately. I am very pleased with my purchase. Even inside the jewel case, the album artwork is fun to browse throughIt's like screen caps from an 80s movie.Worth. Every. Digital. Penny. Here's hoping this guy does not lose his edge.

Crisp, exhilarating and moody... Simply magnificent.
I don't remember when I first heard of Kavinsky, but I assume it was through Sebastian's beautiful remix of "Testarossa Autodrive".I immediately wanted to hear the original version, and discovered Outrun. After listening it for many months first on Spotify and then on CD, I finally decided to buy the LP.It was everything I expected and more. The album is masterfully crafted. The print quality is amazing, and the art direction shines a bright light on the magnificent music of Kavinsky. If you want to lose yourself in a nostalgic era you will never ever experience again -i.e. The 80s', and you have a thing for vinyl music, you'll definitely want to buy this one.You don't have to be a fiend for electronic music to enjoy the absolutely terrific sound of Outrun; so give it a go. You won't regret it.

80's Synth Electronica
I was such a huge fan of the movie "Drive," that I had to get this album, and I was so very excited about the music. In almost every track you can feel the homage to so many 80's classics movies. There was only 1 song on this album that I had skipped over a few times, other than that every track is wonderful, and I'm very excited to see if Kavinsky puts out more albums of this variety.I highly reccommend this album to anyone who enjoys synth pop, or electronica.

Sweet Ride
Certainly one of the better single artist Outrun-genre albums. Certainly is fun to zip about a big city in the middle of the night with this blaring through the car. Kavinsky reminds me of my idealized action movie soundtrack from the synthesized 1980's.If you've heard any of Kavinsky's work in the past, this will not disappoint. If you haven't. . . seriously, through your money in the hat on this one and enjoy the ride.

SYNTHESIZERS!!
Ok, so when I was a kid growing up, I hated the music from the 80's. Seriously, I thought it was terrible and cheesy. Now, as an adult, for some reason anything with synthesizers in it makes my heart do flip-flops of happiness. So, you can imagine how much I love this album. Not only is it full of awesome 80's goodness, I'm a fan of the themes of the songs - generally about cars and such. Which, you know... not like there are any lyrics on most of the songs. Kinda sorta irritated with the random rap; when I was listening to this dude on his soundcloud I heard no rap at all... but aside from that, this album is awesome sauce.

Perfect album on vinyl
Buy this album! It's fantastic in every way. I waited along time for this to come back on sale on Vinyl.Worth every penny. If you're familiar with the song featured on drive you'll love the rest of the album.The vinyl sleeve is nothing fancy but it does the job. Pictures are printed inside for that extra 80s feel.

Retro-wave with music to drive to
This is one of those albums that initially may need to be played a few times before you fully appreciate it, despite this it's a great album with a great sound, you could liken it more as an experience rather than just entertainment.I personally love it and recommend it tho those who are looking for a retro-wave sound.

Makes you feel like you’re in an 80s movie
The last time I loved an electronic album this much was Discovery by Daft Punk, when I was 17 years old.16 years later, this album is another high-point in the French electronic music scene.I honestly can’t recommend this album enough.
