But speaking of the Wipeout soundtracks, the PlayStation soundtrack for Wipeout 2097/XL is genuinely one of the best electronica compilations ever put together, IMO. With tracks from The Future Sound of London, Fluke, Chemical Brothers, Photek, Underworld, and The Prodigy, it's basically a who's who of the top 90s electronica producers.

This soundtrack was amazing, and with it being such an early and excellent game as well probably helped the playstation turn into the preferred console of this generation for a lot of people. The only PS1 game with a comparable soundtrack that used redbook audio (i.e. you could play it as a CD) was N2O. That soundtrack was essentially entirely by The Crystal Method and was phenomenal (I has a lot of overlap with their album Vegas).

And the fact that the video also touched on a bit of the 90s demoscene is icing on the cake too. :) Speaking of, shoutout to scene.org, where you can still download most of those old demos... including the Dionysus Puggsy demo shown in the video that Tim Wright made with his brother which got them hired by Psygnosis: https://files.scene.org/view/mirrors/ftp_klosz_art_pl/amiga/demo/world/dionysus-PUGS_IN_SPACE.ADF.gz

Thanks for the mention, this is right up my alley! Big fan of ‘90s demoscene modules as well. Can’t wait to give this a watch when I get some time.
Echoing. Will give this a watch!
