#2A prototype version of Wipeout appeared in the seminal 1995 film "Hackers" [1]... the very same film that involved future Shaggy actor Matthew Lillard sporting a red Motorola pager and a pre-"Tomb Raider" Angelina Jolie declaring that "RISC architecture is gonna change everything". What a fantastic (in the literal and figurative senses of the term) film.

A fantastic film indeed, and personally quite important to me as it well and truly inspired my deep interest in networks and computing when I first saw it as an early teen years after it came out. No film that I’ve seen since managed to capture that sense of exploration and freedom in computers that Hackers did, and for that it will forever be one of my favourites.
Not to mention, it too had a pretty amazing soundtrack..

Have been listening to the film's soundtrack for the past few weeks while programming. It might be that the OST is hardcoded into my brain and that's why I found it so appropriate to listen to it while coding - but it's great to get into "the zone".
I was looking for something like that to listen - without much luck so far.
Will give a try to Wipeout's tracks. They look promising :)

It's obvious now you say that, but I'd never made the connection before. The gameplay is just that little bit different, and the whole scoring-scene is completely different.
Thanks for sharing!

#7Ah man the breaks in this mix. I got into electronica (mainly trance, progressive and DnB) around 2004, but then found breaks around 2005-6. Adam Freeland and stuff. It's such a different vibe. But I always felt the craziest part was, after you recognize the breaks stuff, you then realized it was there all along among the various Oakenfold or Paul Van Dyk or Judge Jules or LTJ Bukem mixes you downloaded off of LimeWire or BearShare. It's an eclectic sound that is all around you, hollow and futuristic, and so good!
