The legacy of wipE′out″ has transcended time and cemented itself as a true transgenerational phenomenon. Launched in 1995, it didn't just revolutionize the gaming industry, it created a bridge between the gaming ecosystem and the raver community. Its futuristic aesthetics and forward-thinking sound left a mark not only on mainstream audiences but also on the most demanding corners of the underground. Decades later, the game's impact is still alive. The release in 2023 of The Zero Gravity Soundtrack on Lapsus Records proved once again that wipE′out″'s accompanying audio will go down in history as much more than just an anti-gravity racing game soundtrack. This is why Lapsus decided to go deeper into the slipstream and build the second volume you're now holding in your hands. Drawn from the original archives of Tim Wright, aka CoLD SToRAGE, this new collection surfaces unreleased cuts, pieces that couldn't fit on the first edition, and a suite of self-authored ambient reworks that translate pure velocity into wide-screen atmospherics engineered for the long straights, the drone of airbrakes, the blue hour between checkpoints. It also reconnects the circuit, gathering selections and variants tied to later chapters of the saga -- wipE′out″ HD and wipE′out″ Pure -- plus alternative mixes that, until now, only existed in the Sega Saturn dimension of the franchise. Finally, the material takes a leap into the future in the hands of four remixers especially chosen for this release: Tim Reaper, SHERELLE, Mantra, and NikNak, who collectively forge links between CoLD SToRAGE's pioneering musical vision, the sound world of the game, and the contemporary breakbeats and drum and bass vanguard. Expect the DNA you remember -- accelerated breaks, trance-vector synths, jungle influences, sub-bass rumbling neatly beneath the craft's hull, and at times even echoes of classic hardstyle -- now revealed with new angles and air. The previously unheard material carries the same aerodynamic design sense that made these tracks feel faster than the track map itself, while the ambient versions open the field of view with melodies hovering at the lip of overdrive. For the faithful -- crate-digging ravers, speed-run obsessives, and design nerds -- this is an essential expansion pack: compiling rarities, restoring context, and reframing the emotional core of wipE′out″ for late nights and early mornings alike. Bridging memory and momentum, club and console, rush and afterglow. Strap in.

Back in the 1990s, video games were still largely seen as nerdy: fun, sure, but basically a guilty pleasure that you'd soon grow out of. The release in 1995 of wipE'out'', a lightning-fast, razor-sharp, futuristic racing game that helped to launch the PlayStation in Europe and North America, changed all that. This was a game that looked and sounded both adult and cool, the kind of game you would put on display in your living room, rather than hide away under your bed. Key to this was the fact that wipE'out'' borrowed unashamedly from the clubbing experience and electronic music, in a way that put it at the heart of progressive mid '90s culture. wipE′out′′ also sounded like a new rave dream. The European version of the game included music from The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, and Orbital, the kind of fashionable game syncs that were almost unheard of at the time. Equally striking was the game's original music, which came from Welsh musician Tim Wright, aka CoLD SToRAGE, by this point already a veteran in the video games world, having worked on the music for Amiga titles such as Lemmings and Shadow of the Beast 2. His music for wipE′out′′ was, if anything, even more extreme than the big-name syncs, mixing the accelerated beats of drum and bass with the pure synth rush of trance to make music that sounded as breathlessly exciting as playing the game felt. These tracks were burned into the brains of millions of gamers; the soundtrack to a generation of late-night anti-gravity racing, as the sun gingerly rose beyond the curtains. But they haven't, perhaps, quite got the respect they deserve, something that this release will address. Featuring remixes by µ-Ziq, Wordcolour, Brainwaltzera, James Shinra, Kode9, Simo Cell, Surgeons Girl, Datassette.
