The game's electronica
soundtrack was mostly composed by Welsh video game music composer Tim
Wright under the alias CoLD SToRAGE. However, additional music tracks
were licensed from more established electronica acts to create the
soundtracks for the PAL and Saturn versions of the game, as well as the
promotional album, Wipeout: The Music. Additional music featured in the
PAL version of the PlayStation game include tracks from Leftfield, The
Chemical Brothers, and Orbital (also appearing on Wipeout: The Music),
while the Saturn version includes three additional tracks by Rob Lord
and Mark Bandola. Orbital's "Wipeout (P.E.T.R.O.L.)" was at least
partially written before Burcombe met the musicians, and Leftfield's
"Afro Ride" and The Chemical brothers' "Chemical Beats" are remixes of
songs the artists had already recorded. The 1995 North American release,
as well as the 1997 "Greatest Hits" reissue, only feature tracks by
CoLD SToRAGE.
