VIDEO ESSAY: WIPEOUT’S RAVE SOUNDTRACK

Wipeout was a behemoth of a video game, which saw gamers racing anti-gravity vehicles at breakneck speed on the PlayStation.

That’s fun and all but that’s not the whole story.

See, anyone who remembers it and liked to have their weekends chemically altered, they knew that Wipeout had one of the most banging soundtracks of any video game ever made. So good that there was an official soundtrack with some extra bits on it was released.

Featuring the Chemical Brothers, the Prodigy, FSOL, Underworld, Daft Punk, Photek, Orbital, Leftfield and many more. A cultural icon for sure. Let’s not undermine the titanic involvement of CoLD SToRAGE either.

To save us from writing about it, here’s an in depth look at it in video form and interviewing some of the main players in the creation of it from NoClip.

Very good fun. Get stuck in.
