Kavinsky, a musician wrapped in mystery, first caught our eye in 2006 as a zombie who'd died in a Testarossa crash 20 years prior. After the success of Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive, his song 'Nightcall' (produced by Guy - Manuel de Homem - Christo and featuring Lovefoxxx) became the movie's theme, reaching a broader audience. His music is inspired by the countless movies he watched as a kid. OutRun is Kavinsky's first full - length album. It includes reworked versions of earlier tunes and lots of new material. For long - time fans, the themes are familiar, yet there are unexpected elements that keep the album engaging. From the title referencing the Sega arcade game with a Ferrari Testarossa to the strong Jan Hammer influence, OutRun seems like a missing part of Kavinsky's story. There are surprises like the track 'Suburbia' featuring Havoc and the 80s - style 'First Blood'. These songs fit well into Kavinsky's unique style. This album is from Record Makers in 2013 and was reviewed by Michu Meszaros in March 2013.
To enjoy this Kavinsky Outrun LP, simply place it on your record player and drop the needle gently. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping. When not in use, store it in its sleeve to protect it from dust. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing. Enjoy the unique and mysterious music at your leisure, and let yourself be transported by Kavinsky's world.
