This made me want to grind lap times in Wipeout 2097. The soundtrack and atmosphere in that game was really similar to this, and like nothing I'd heard or seen before at the time. It probably shaped my taste in so many ways. Fond memories!
EDIT: For those sharing the nostalgia, it turns out that the composer of the soundtrack, Cold Storage, remastered it and put it up on streaming services. It's a two part EP called SlipStream.
I was going to write a post saying I was glad a "later" wipeout game had the effect as the original had on me, then I looked into it and saw that Wipeout 2097 was called Wipeout XL in North American, and was the exact game I played :D So, I'll just echo what you said: the soundtrack was foundational in my adult music tastes :)
Glad to hear it! Just out of curiosity, where did you end up taste wise? I found DnB pretty early on and it has always remained the backbone of my rotation. Mostly dark stuff like Current Value, Noisia, S.P.Y etc.
Yeah, I wrote that as a 11 year old me when I heard that track on WipeOut3 for the first time. I was still discovering electronic music via a bunch of unwanted Euphoria compliation albums.
Wipeout3 was often played in both my PlayStation and CD player.
His bandcamp page has a lot of varied stuff, including his recent stab at improv ambient he knocked out in about 4 hours of work on this album: https://coldstorage.bandcamp.com/album/drift
This confused me as I only knew the Playstation version which features a selection of artists, I'll have to give the full Cold Storage soundtrack a listen!
