Maybe a long shot here.........
but can anyone recommend anything similar to this Kavinksy Outrun album? stuff like Lazerhawk for example.
And what are good resources to find or buy physical albums like this?
I gather there is some sort of revival of this 80s-synth-based stuff, but a lot of it seems to be download-only albums.

Before this inevitably gets deleted:
You'll want to check out Power Glove, Pertrurbator, Berndsen, Zombi has also done music in this style.
Zombi - Sapphire
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQIwRyX0ASk
Berndsen - X-Cryonics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1lfB6dyAiY
Berndsen - Game of Chance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SgW_eIsWSs
Power Glove - Streets of 2043
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB9SsI6jZtI
Perturbator - Welcome to Nocturne City
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1UdTvLoUSY
All of these artists are heavily influenced by old space synth / italo disco / post disco / early electronic / Hi-NRG classics such as Laserdance, Koto, Cyber People, Hipnosis, Giorgio Moroder, Black Devil Disco Club, Jean Michel Jarre, Patrick Crowley and of course Kraftwerk.
Laserdance - Power Run (from the classic album Future Generation)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3k7ahkeliA
Koto - Visitors
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOh4B7zPx70
Cyber People - Void Vision
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mauWGQZt8TE
Patrick Crowley - Megatron Man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcHC-r1F0aM
Black Devil Disco Club - Timing, Forget the Timing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fnQepOCn_M
Two bonus classics:
Þú og Ég - Í Reykjavíkurborg (Icelandic post disco GEM)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slXrizF5pOY
Gianco - Old Night Flight

Cheers for the recommendations, have been looking for stuff like Kavinsky for awhile now. Also Power Glove, if i remember they were that band that did the music for Far Cry: Blood Dragon. |

We're releasing the new Perturbator album - it's one of the few outrun artists to go properly physical.
Here's a track debut:

| UNIT BLACK FLIGHT has to be one of the best projects in this field. John Carpenter obsessive music! |

Huge fan of this style.
This page might give you an interesting overview.

Discovered Perturbator through this, and will definitely order the DLP once it's up for pre-order. |

Not all strictly outrun but close enough:
Miami Nights 1984, Betamaxx, Gatekeeper (Giza specifically reminds me of this style even though it is quite different, the other material not so much), Nightcrawler, Lost Years, Arcade High |

I love Gatekeeper's Giza, as well as Optimus Maximus, but after that they pretty much went to shit IMHO.
Of the other bands you mention here, which ones would you say sound the most like Gatekeeper on Giza & Optimus Maximus? I'd love to hear more stuff along those lines.
Oh and Blood Music, that Perturbator fella sounds fucking amazing. Am I right in assuming that the upcoming DLP would be his/their first-ever physical release? |

Yes, this is his first physical release - and we'll be doing his back catalog also (all of it - both albums and an EP collection), as well as some upcoming stuff afterwards too!
What was meant about the "proper" physical release in the outrun genre is that most of the artists have stayed digital, done small cassette runs only, handmade things, etc. Very few (as far as we know) have gone to properly published vinyl, CD, etc.
Perturbator goes to pre-order tomorrow - will make a separate thread about it!

I've been following these projects for a few years and actually tried to ask some labels/artists about physical releases before. Glad to see it's finally happening. Blood Music should also get Power Glove signed and released, because I'm pretty sure I'd buy everything that comes out on CD (?). The material is top notch, it's a shame it has been just sitting there.

| Kavinsky's sound is rooted in French House and Disco, so you might want to check out the latest album by Daft Punk. It's made with real analog gear as well. Not VST's like Kavinsky. |
