Appreciate the gesture! c:
What a pleasure it was to do this interview, and moreover, to see the work and energy put into the final video. Hats off dude! Great to reminisce all over again. ❤😎🚀
I had no idea who Cold Storage was, I certainly didn’t know you weren’t a dance music producer. I loved your work on these games back in the day. Thanks!
Nice synth set up, too. Cobalt, Deepmind, what else is there?
It's incredible how you started off with a strong dislike towards 90s techno/electronic, only to then IMMEDIATELY redefine and pioneer the genre for a variety of audiences around the world. I love listening to your works (old and new) while I'm driving, it really puts me in the "zone".
Thank you for making some of the best music I have ever heard in my life!
Huge fan of your tracks on these games, and appreciate them even more now that I know the context!
I've probably listened to the original WipeOut OST 2000 times since it came out. I'd just shove my spare game disc in a PC CDROM while I worked, or my car stereo. Fantastic work, and this was a great video. Cool (pun?) to finally find out where your "stage" name came from.
It was the Wipeout soundtrack that really got me into the electronic/techno/trance scene, but it was rare to find tracks that were as musically developed as yours. They evolve, explore, and tell a story. Thanks so much for all your great work! ♥
Fun fact! Mr Cold Storage used to be my boss and often gave me lifts to work in his insane yellow sports car at high speeds while being treated to unheard remixes of his Wipeout stuff. It was pretty memorable especially since I was a massive Wipeout nerd. Ended up designing his logo :)
Tremendous!
Well this is amazing! I would love to hear these remixes!
Awesome!
Danny that opening statement about the age of Wipeout hurt my soul.
I'm so sorry, my bones turned to dust when I realized it.
I can still sit down and play 2097 right now...but honestly it's almost enough just listening to the soundtrack...which I've kept with me for ages and been quite pleased because of it
@LupricalArcadius my index fingers were twitching still with the timings on turns😅
Feeling my age, no even more so. 😂
Feeling my age, no even more so. 😂
As a 40 year old who grew up as a dance-loving sci-fi nerd with a ps1, it’s impossible to state just how much this era, style, aesthetics. and culture of the time influenced me. Love this so much.
Same!
Same here, m8!
Yup, same here. Since we have similar interests, I'm totally down to hear any possibly obscure games/movies/manga/etc that you lot have found over the years. Personally, I'd suggest a few manga comics - Eden:It's an Endless World, and the various projects that Tsutomu Nihei has created over the years (Blame! and Biomega, especially), and Masamune Shirow's stuff (I started with the Appleseed books, and then the Ghost in the Shell series, but Orion is dope too).
Agreed. I love all the bad ass futuristic feeling games and music.
Only a couple years ahead of you, and yeah, shivers all the way through this
The Designers Republic aesthetic is so damned great. From Wipeout to PWEI, classic 90s style.
Shame they started doing NFTs
@@chips989 nooooo!!!!
Everything on Warp Records too.
@@rbdriftinToko Records, and Swag's stuff too (the Odori label art must be by tDR, surely). Quality style, and it's nice to see Sheffield lads having such an impact on a global stage :)
@@chips989 not anymore, and it wasn't by their own volition when that project was going on afaik
Wipeout.
This game is what got me into graphic design, even before I knew what this term was. I've been a graphic designer for 10+ years... and I kinda attribute it all to playing this game on my PS1 in the late 90's!
Thank you for this!
Legendary graphic design yeah
Never clicked on a TH-cam video so fast in my life
I saw the Wipeout cover and immediately clicked on the video...suddenly I needed a lunch break!😁😁
😂same
I will never. Never. Forget playing the 2097 demo and hearing “body in motion” and my entire life changing. Sensational.
Yep, same. It was simply the most important moment in the development of my musical tastes.
Bought my Playstation. Got home. Set it up. Put in the demo disc. Wipeout 2097 was the first game I tried.
Fell in love.
Hundreds of games and several decades later, still my favourite.
I played the demo so much, miss my demo discs.
@@aesemon5392 I remember that well, the Paris Metro level with the instrumental of Firestarter
The soundtrack to the first Wipeout was almost life changing for me as a 14-year old. Tim did a great job - some of the best dance music ever was written by people who had no idea what they were doing. The 90s were such an incredibly fertile period for that kind of creativity.
I know you're just being hyperbolic but the acts used for this game absolutely knew what they were doing. I often hear the same sentiments expressed about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, and they were all accomplished musicians who absolutely knew how to make music and catchy and energetic songs. The culture absorbed the counter-culture that emerged, electronic music is as it is today because of them, the genre would have become something different if they had all produced different music. If you listen to Dave Angel, Juan Atkins, Eddie Flashin Fowles, Basic Channel, Model 500, Carl Craig, all of them had the same ideas that Leftfield, Orbital and Underworld built off.
@@Birbface I think he was talking about how Tim mentioned he didn't know what he was doing when he first started writing dance songs for the first Wipeout. It comes up in the video.
@@NoclipDocs yep exactly. Considering how deeply unfamiliar territory it was for him, and how quickly music scenes were evolving back then, he produced something very authentic sounding. Producers and DJs were ripping up rule books as they went, and just throwing anything and everything at the walls to see what would stick.
@@Birbface Yeah he's talking about Tim - watch the video!!!
The elements of music that worked in the club got repeated and perfected...back then everybody just tried to sound interesting without any guidelines....just ibes of energy
I'm proud to have worked on Wipeout and Wipeout 2097 as well as other titles at studio Liverpool for both Psygnosis and Sony. I spent hours in Tim's studio talking music with him. ❤
Did you work on Colony Wars?
I remember in the PSP Wipeout Pure there were Aphex Twin logos on screens scattered throughout the futuristic levels and I thought that was awesome
Did you ever see the episode of 'Most Haunted' in which they contacted a spirit called "Richard" who they asked to make contact though them using a paper and pen, before drawing an almost perfect AFX logo. The clips about on TH-cam somewhere.
Too bad the track he contributed sounds awful
@@markmckinney4149 i need to see this but i cant find it anywhere
@@CabaretDescartes i like Naks Acid though :(
Worked on it, QA, best game EVER
I was that person coming back from the club and playing Wipeout at 6am with my mates! This is a great documentary and brings back a lot of memories. Looking at the footage now, it hasn't aged, and neither has the soundtrack. Great work, thank you!
Strange that no other Wipeout contributors made time to be part of this. Tim Wright's stories are great, a treat to hear him talk about his career. Thanks Dan, Jeremy, and Frank once more for the excellent work.
In the winter of 1996 I turned 18, and went out with some friends for my birthday. Fairly early in said night, I dislocated my kneecap and ended up in hospital. I was sent home with a full length pot on my leg, pretty much unable to leave the house for 6 weeks. So I spent my birthday money on a Playstation with Resident Evil and Wipeout 2097. I spent god knows how many hours playing those two games whilst my knee healed. I didn't even have a memory card so couldn't save my games but I didn't care, it was glorious. This documentary has brought all those memories flooding back and I have to thank you so much for putting it together!
oh what? talk about a dream video. I can't wait to watch this. This soundtrack informed not only my musical passion in middle school but lead to career in music and design. thank you for making this!
I think the following is a testament to how important the soundtrack was to Wipeout: I couldn't for live nor money tell you any of the tracks. But as soon as I saw this title, before even truly thinking about the racing, my brain had made up half remembered techno dance beats.
What a sound track.
Xpander by DJ Sasha on Wipeout 3 soundtrack is GD amazing to play too! 😍
Ewwww. It's just Sasha.
@@smash461986not in Germany it isn't
The wipeout version is sped up if I remember correctly, fit the game so well
@@miles2354 either version 😚👌
I was thinking where is Sasha all the way through this. Awesome video though
Wipeout is my coming of age game, it’s the perfect time capsule of the 90’s. A friend of mine had a PlayStation when I was 15 years old, so when I got over there, he popped in that demo disc and I started Wipeout. It blew me away, the design, theme, iconography by the designers republic, the speed, and that track, Messij by Cold Storage, that’s so iconic, peak 90’s. It was when gaming grew up with me, we stepped into the future, from the 16 bit pixel art of the SNES and Megadrive to these fast 3D visuals that integrated European club culture. Especially the soundtrack of the first Wipeout is instant nostalgia, it always gives me goosebumps. And then when 2097 came out it had all of the artists that were in my cd collection.
Loved these games when I was younger. Tim Wright is probably the reason I got into writing and producing music. He was the brainchild behind 'Music' & Music 2000' on the Playstation and that's where I first started putting my own music together. What a guy!
I will remember to use the phrasing "Investigating chemical opportunities." In the future😂.
It's perfect 😂
I remember „borrowing“ the game from my moms cupboard where she hid it as a future birthday gift to me. Playing it for a bit and the returning it.
One of my all time favorites. I still own the original merch shirts.
Speaking of great soundtracks: I would kill for a documentary about Ridge Racer Type 4 and its insane OST.
Just Namco sounds
@@ignotumperignotius630 This and Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere
I second that! Oh man, that soundtrack is such a mix of cool, chill and energetic tunes.
I'm a developer and I'm really into '90s synthesizers and it's partly this guy's fault. In 1995 I was in the honors dorm at Ohio State which had a broadband T1 connection before the other dorms. We played Duke 3D / Quake / WarCraft II all night, and I was in a lot of pirate IRC channels. Across the street from the dorm was a game shop (and the only Buffalo Wild Wings which existed in 1995). A guy in the shop soldered mod chips into PSX consoles. I got a CD burner - when 1.6 GB was a big hard drive, and you needed to partition half of it for holding a CD image, and blank CDRs were $15 each. I got a minor in Japanese because I wanted to be able to read the menus on my PSX games - many were released in Japan a lot earlier than the US. I would make copies of games but replace the redbook audio with other things. Everybody loved my bootleg of Twisted Metal Black that was all White Zombie and NIN tracks. But I didn't change the music on Wipeout... That's where I found out about FSOL and Prodigy and Chemical Brothers. I wrote an Amazon review around 1997 that's just a rant about the official Wipeout XL Soundtrack CD being different from the game. I really liked that Cold Storage track Canada. 18:24 ❤ My NAS box has been called Cold Storage for about 20 years.
This game literally inspired me to get into the games industry. I've now since been working within it for 15 years.
Without this game I don't think I would have pushed so hard to get into the industry; through University, through all the challenges in the industry.
BLESS Neognosis for carrying the torch of WipeOut in BallisticNG without compromise
To this day, this OST and aesthetic influences my own art and music.
Agreed. Von Snake and the crew keeping the spirit alive.
After playing wipeout pure (as my first wipeout game) I was of the opinion that the low poly wipeout 3 era wasn't for me, especially because it was much faster that pure.
But ballisticng is an experience, everything meshes so well together from the menu to the music to the feel of the agrav vehicles
I played F-Zero on the SNES in the mid 90’s to Goldie’s album, Timeless…everything suddenly made sense. Wipeout on PS1 was a crowning glory to the whole UK dance scene ❤
I see a Noclip documentary, I click play. It's always lovely being comforted by those svelte, dulcet Irish tones
Yeah, Danny's got a top tier voice
I have to watch to make up for delighting in observing him break down playing games for gamespot. Hatoful boyfriend et al.
Owning a PSP was 100% worth it for me as a kid just for the 1000s of hours I dropped into Wipeout Pure. That game changed so much about me. The music, the vibes, the racing, the overall art design. I was actually really stoked with F1 flirted with that design style a few years ago.
I still remember seeing Wipeout 1 for the first time. Was at a rave at the end of 1995. I'd just graduated from high school. They were marketing the new PlayStation, and had Wipeout running on a massive projector screen you could queue up to play. When Wipeout 2097 came out, I was at university. Soundtrack CD was on repeat play on the stereo in my room.
I still listen to FSOL, Fluke, Orbital, Chemical, Underworld, Cold Storage and Leftfield, Let alone the Prodigy (I've seen them live 6 times). That game and its soundtrack STILL resonates with me. The graphics, the presentation (Designers Republic) and the music. Everything fits so gracefully. The first three WipEout games are amazing but I think the second title is the pinacle of the series. It has the tightest gameplay (still unmatched), graphics-wise it's a PSX showcase and of course has the best score. WipEout 1, Wip3out & HD Fury come close. To this day, I still enjoy this gem. Still hits me on my 40s as it did when I was 13. Timeless.
Wow the audio in that credit sequence woke up some dormant memories. I played Wipeout XL soooo much. This game is pure ear-bliss. It got me into The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers, which I continue to listen to today.
I'm probably on the younger end of Wipeout fans (28), but i cannot tell you how much these games shaped my taste in music alongside SSX. The music in the Wipeout games especially go hard, and the graphic design from The Designers Republic is still some of the most iconic video game imagery. Now I'm obsessed with jungle, drum n bass, house, garage, techno, idm, etc. And it's mainly thanks to these games. Any devs who worked on this game, y'all fucking kick ass. It does make me sad that the new generations do not have a true modern day video game equivalent of Wipeout, while at the same time it's been cool to see a ton of it's influence stick with stuff like BallisticNG. Long live Wipeout.
The music, the art and the ambiance of this game was absolute peak. A real game changer. Thank you all for this.
Wipeout was so very special to me. Besides just the way it played and it looked. It kind of gave a place in life. It expanded my social circle and introduced me to music and to so many different people that had an effect on my life. I remember getting a job at a recording studio because I met so many people around electronic music. This then snowballed to my love for building and maintaining systems. Sound engineering and mixing (this part I haven't done for many years now)...never learned to make proper music, but I still love to listen to all the new and old acts.
Thank you Psygnosis and Designer's Republic, I wouldn't be here with you guys. Made my life happen! Thanks for highlighting this awesome company Danny!! Made my day!!
I was there, I was 13 yo when Wipeout came out and it changed my life. Thank you Tim Wright, Psygnosis and Danny for creating this doc ❤
Currently playing the Omega collection, this franchise NEEDS to come back! High speed racing with ultra futuristic vehicles and insane electro OST just works sooooo good
Heard "Firestarter" during the Black Ops 6 trailer been thinking about Wipeout ever since!
This video game sound designer made tracks that were so high quality they were on the ost with professional industry bands and his tracks are some of my favourites. Unbelievable he says he didn't like the music he was commissioned to make. When I think of electro music I always think of wipeout and body in motion. This guy is too real hahaha. Damn I didn't know leftfield made track on the beer advert INSANE
You forgot to mention an incredible but of information... You could take the game disc and put it into your stereo system and the soundtrack would play like an audio CD!
Still my favourite game soundtrack.
Thank you for making a doco about it. Incredible.
Thank you Cold Storage for all your amazing tracks and all the cool memories you've helped to create through the years! Body In Motion is still my favourite Wipeout track ever!
NO FREAKIN' WAY! I've currently been on a Wipeout kick and been playing the heck out of the Omega collection. We desperately need a new Wipeout game. The soundtrack is to thank for my love of electronic music nearly 30 years later. It was my introduction to Daft Punk!
Got my first PC back in 1998 and my parents bought me WipeOut'2097 - played it day and night and absolutely love the series since - insane sense of speed in combination with a banger soundtrack!
First thought: wow, this sounds amazing
Second thought: yes, your stereo is way better now than it was in 96
Honestly though, any time I come across an old soundtrack like this that was dear to my heart, you bet your ass I'm going to strap in with my modern and accurate audio gear to re-live it again in full detail.
Saying that though, the fact this game had cd quality music was a massive improvement on the bleeps and squeaks if previous game generations. Even through TV speakers
Hahahaha.@@SchrodingersDinger
OMG when that menu music hits it was like dropping me back in time. We used to play this soundtrack during parties all the time.
Authentic organic cool selections by people into in the genres. Before the corporates dictated the soulless OST of later releases.
I still have this game. I still listen to the music, it hasn't been beating as far as the soundtrack. I was a day 1 PS1 owner and I played the demo for the 3 or 4 months until the game dropped.
What a great watch. I have so many fantastic memories of when the Wipeout games were released. I grew up in South Africa, and I was in my early 20s. I remember going to an Alternative music club often - they had a lounge area with PS1 pods set up to play Ridge Racer, Battle Arena Toshinden, Tekken and Wipeout. The PS1 was undoubtedly an integral part of the zeitgeist of that era. I loved the comment, "There was no way of recapturing the moment in time in which WipEout was released."
Absolutely excellent. Wipeout and Wipeout 2097 blew my young mind and was, I'm sure, formative in developing my love of dance, trance and other forms of EDM.
Tim speaks so humbly and I don't think he quite realises how much players liked his tracks over some of the named bands because his mixes allowed you to sink deeper in to the game and were not tiring on the ear like others could be.
What a delightful interview. Wipeout had a huge impact on my late childhood. There really hasn't been anything else like it, and I'm not really sure we'll ever see its likes again. A genuinely special few years in gaming culture.
This game defined my taste in music. I would take the CD to school in my Discman and just listen to it over and over.
It made me realize I liked electronic music above all else.
Also, RedBull wasn't available in my country. I thought it was some cool futuristic made up drink for years.
I've just noticed that red Bull was an advert in this game. Woah!
Wipeout had no business having such an amazing soundtrack. It was at the perfect time, in the perfect era of electronic music. Perfection.
I was 9 when this came out. Core childhood memories. I played 2097 and Wip3out to death.
I remember playing this game with my friend back in 1998 , we couldn't believe how fast it was, all the racing games at that time kinda had a "regular" speed, but this was something else, also we loved the fact that the soundtrack had some of the music we loved from that era.
I got my first Playstation for Christmas 1997 and Wipeout 2097 along with it. I felt insane playing it for the first time. It looked unlike anything I've ever seen before, the music was from another world for me, the gameplay was so damn fast. I was hooked hard. I had played a bit of the first Wipeout at a friend's, but 2097 was on another level. On that Christmas eve I was convinced that this game is what the future looked and sounded like. And when I tried and realized I could play the game disc in any ordinary CD player, I wore that poor thing out. I listen to the first two games' soundtracks all the time to this day and I think it'll never ever get old.
I actually didn't know until last year that Cold Storage wasn't just a musician like all the others on the soundtracks, but indeed a guy at the games' studio. Blew my damn mind no less, haha.
Best doc yet. Was lucky enough to be there, I can quantity or describe the feeling of playing Wipeout for the first time in my mates dingy bedroom whilst he converted music into his mini-disc player 😅
I was the perfect age when The PlayStation came out and walked in to Woolworths on release week with a wad of cash and bought the console, Ridge Racer, Battle Arena Toshinden, NBA Jam (I think) and Wipeout.
Wipeout2097 blew my 22 yr old mind and I just played it relentlessly for months and months. I think I just used to put the Prodigy's Firestarter on repeat all the time, I couldn't get enough of it!!
It was the zeitgeist game.
Amazing nostalgia trip down memory lane
Tim's SotB 2 music, loved it so much, never played the game but recorded the music onto tape at a friend's place. Played it while doing homework or household chores, just all the time.
Thank you Tim.
I can't express enough how much Cold Storage and specifically the wipeout games shaped my early musical interests. I was born in 94, and I remember playing those games religiously. It was through 2097 where i discovered The Prodigy, and one of my first albums was Their Law. I still believe that the PS2 was the greatest console ever made, however I'm endlessly nostalgic for the original playstation, as it shaped so many of my early gaming memories.
"their law"? Do you mean "music for the jilted generation"
Playing the Wipeout Demo on the original Playstation in a shop made me order the Playstation and Wipeout. What an Incredible time to be a gamer. The music in this game got me into so many bands as well, it was unbelievable.
One of the few game series I try to collect physical copies of all of the versions and soundtracks! Tim Wright is a beast - go through his discography for some truly hot jams
Probably the most underrated thing about the PS, that ive never seen before
Indeed
God, this makes me feel so old. Scary where all that time has gone, I remember it like it was yesterday 😢
What an amazing documentary! Cold storage what a guy so humble and talented his music makes wipeout. There’s very few 10/10 games but this is one of them. Still play it to this day 😎. Takes me back to the 90s, what a time to grow up in.
Thanks Danny and Tim for this gem!! I had both games on my Playstation and also spent a lot of time at raves and seeing some of these artists. The peak of the electronic music scene becoming more mainstream. Great stuff.
That thumbnail simply doesn't do this documentary justice! It was so much more than just being about the music. Great work as always, guys!
Fantastic video. I’m from Liverpool and there was a kid in school who’s Dad worked for Psygnosis. Wish I could remember his name, didn’t appreciate it at the time.
You had me at "Firestarter"
I've never clicked on a video so fast
I'm so happy you're covering soundtracks more. Stick it into my veins!
Wipeout was my first ever PS1 game back in 1996. Tim’s music and Orbitals track got me into dance music. Cardinal Dancer is my favourite to this day. I’d take the disc and put it in my awia CD player and listen to the tracks.
i like this being a documentary about exclusively the soundtrack. would love to see more like these
This is probably my video of the year! huge thanks for making this... excellent work
I loved this game series and soundtrack so much I bought a copy of Wipeout and I didn’t even own a PlayStation! I used to listen to the music tracks separately in my cd player! I loved this franchise so much as a young film student I tried to write a spec screenplay adaptation of Wipeout! It was basically a cyberpunk/Blade Runner like murder mystery wrapped around an anti gravity tournament and the controversial decision to add weapons to the sleds. Early 2000s I was OBSESSED with these games and its universe!!!❤
I still listen to the music to this day when at work, in the car, having a walk, my desktop backgrounds are the Wipeout 2097 logos that cycle through the different teams, I play Ballistic NG with all the modded Wipeout tracks and listen to 2097 music while I play it. Wipeout 2097 esp for me will always be the game where gameplay, visual design, sfx and of course the music has never felt so symbiotic, so symphonic. One of my all-time favourite games.
That was ridiculously cathartic, nice one!
I purchased "Atom Bomb" by Fluke on single from the store Our Price as a kid here in the UK. That song molded me I swear!
What a brilliant documentary. I was there when the original Wipeout was released back in 1995. Kids of today will never understand how massive the leap from 2D Sonic or Mario to full on 3D Wipeout felt. We will probably never experience that kind of leap in graphics and audio fidelity. It was a shift in paradigm. And as much as the cool graphic set the standard for the new 32 bit generation the audio was equally as important. This is such an important part of my youth. Thanks to Tim and the others!
That soundtrack is still a banger!
wiP3out and especially 2097 (XL in the U.S.) are what I credit for getting me into techno, house, EDM, etc. I used to throw the game CD’s into my parents CD player because you could play the music off of them. Great video and you’ve earned another sub!
When I was a kid I had a bitchin Auricom poster from a game magazine that I put on my wall for years. Wipeout had one of the few "techno" soundtracks that I just adored. Thanks for this!
*the movie Hackers is an all timer, I've seen it probably a hundred times it blew my mind as a kid. I always wondered what wipeout-style game they played in the movie at the club they went to, and who made that particular sequence for the movie. Amazing soundtrack as well👌
I love hearing Tim talk about his frustrations surrounding the requested form. I think his struggling against them is one of the reasons I LOVED his tracks from the first WipeOut. That allegiance to melody I remembered from the Lemmings tunes was there but in service of electronica.
This game changed m'y life musically when i was 13 years old in 95, i was listening to m'y parents rock, some Iron Maiden and then this game... It launched my love for electronic music and theses soundtracks relieve so much emotions. Im actually buying back all the games and making my own nostalgia corner. Thanks Wipeout
Love that this video was focused just on the soundtrack, so good to give the space needed to talk about all the development, evolution, and legacy of one specific element of a game. Just waiting for a video on the graphic design of Wipeout now! Brilliant video. Keep it up!!
My most favourite video on TH-cam already!!! Thank you so much for this !!!
I bought a ps1 version of Wipeout XL two weeks ago. It still have this adrenaline pump when Firestarter bass drops in and enemy rockets passing you by. Damn what a memory to have.
Love this video. Wipeout 2097 was one of the first games I wanted when I exchanged my N64 to my friend permanently for PlayStation because I loved the demo I played it with my friends. Timeless classic. The whole thing was just perfect.
dude this nostalgia hit me like a fucking truck, thank you so much for uploading this video.
Over summer break 97' I'd stay up until 6 am playing this non-stop. I was obsessed. Couldn't convince any of my friends of it's brilliance. Guess it just hits for some people, and for others, not as much. Fantastic trip down memory lane Danny. Thank you.
One of my Top 3 Games of All Time. This game was the reason why I switched from being just a listener and started making my own music. THANK YOU.
The end credits music of the Puggs In Space demo by Tim just completely blew my mind back in the day, honestly I just love it and still listen to it now and again. It always takes me back to being a 15 year old kid with my Amiga 500 ❤
Everything about this documentary was fucking brilliant- from Prodigy playing over the Noclip logo to summarising the importance of the game at the end. Laaaarve it
It's crazy how influential WipEout was. Literally changed my life. In no small part thanks to Tim's legendary music.
Best surprise ever having this video pop up!
This documentary really hit me hard. Thank you for this! I still listen to the Wipeout-soundtracks and they havent aged a day. I try to play the games too, but the music is with me almost daily.
Fantastic. I started uni in mid 90's, a housmate was playing this game on PS1 in the first week. I had just moved up to Birmingham and the club scene was wild. This game was a big part of that culture and I remember it well.
This was really great! Well done 👍
I just want to say a huge Thank you for the music that I grew up with starting with Shadow of the beast 2 and everything in this video actually . I’m 53 and your music and sound effects have been my gaming life , just awesome !!! thank you so much
man that was one of my favorite noclip docs, wipeout is just so fucking cool
Thank you for playing that race in the outro. It brings back so many memories and it showcases the music beautifully!
