lyrics
We are the kids who have been out all night.
We are the kids who drove all night.
We are the kids who rebelled all night.
We are the kids who drove all night.
And you'll never see me again.

I'm sure this record sounds really dated nowadays with some of the synth choices, the radio intros that are becoming more common, and especially the mix/master, but this was really something for its time. I remember first hearing the title track and enjoying the composition so much.
Dimi's ambition and fun with this project come in his brand of Outrun that meshes itself with the Instrumental Rock of the 80's, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai come to mind.
A Synthwave classic! VVMPYRE

Zone stuff to let you drift, while providing enough head-nods, hooks & variety to reward closer attention. It's like an X-Files/Electronica mash-up, and still one of my go-to albums when I need to focus. x0riente
