New Aphex Twin in Wipeout

This might be old news, but apparently the new Wipeout Pure
game for PSP will have 'a soundtrack comprised of tunes
composed specifically for the game by artists like Aphex
Twin'.

Here's an article.

The first Wipeout for ps1, in addition to being a great
game, had the first tune that got me into electronic music
aside from hip hop and "jock jams". It was called "The
Messij" I think. I liked the stuff TDR did for it too.

Since I have no PSP and don't plan to buy one, I'm hoping
they will release the tunes as a soundtrack, like they did
with 2097.

I'd be surprised if they didn't...

VINYL!

cool : )

...except that i won't buy a PSP, with that square button
and dead pixels etc issues and the price and...

i also hate that my Wipeout Fusion corrupts its own save on
the memory card, making it near unplayable "seriously" - you
never know when all your progress will be erased. quite
annoying.

"like Aphex Twin"? Who else is like Aphex Twin?

yeah, it's bad wording. other sites confirm aphex without
the questionable 'by artists like'.

Shit :( I thought this was going to be about Richards rare
appearance on Wipeout with Bob Monkhouse.

That could've been hysterical. Especially the ponytail
flapping as he did the last challenge (provided he made it
that far).

He would probably run like a girl for a laugh, then try to
rub Bobs face tan off (R.I.P.) and then hump the podium or
something equally as crazy (That crazy Aphex Twin).

The Wipeout series was one of the major factors that got me
into electronic music as well. Fluke, for example (featured
on wipeoutXL and wipeout64 versions), was my favorite band
for some time in my early high school days.

Aphex twin in wipeout?? That's a bad choice, wipeout's been
rockin the trance/techno soundtracks since the dawn of ps1.


By the way, wipeout xl is the best video game ever.

tunes for the game.....

or he did, but they're already released on one of his
records... :D

as far as i know this is the first time he's
created/licensed music for/to a game, which is something in
and of itself. everything else had just been rumour and
speculation.

this could start a new trend in game music, with amon tobin
doing splinter cell and aphex twin doing wipeout. i wouldn't
mind hearing autechre and plaid the next time i beat someone
up in a street fighter game.

Nice and good news on Aphex doing the tuuuunes, I know
someone who got into electronic mucis through the music in
the original wipeout and now like aphex, ae, etc. :D

Interestingly, designers republic (who do lots of work for
warp) designed a lot of the content like company logos for
racing teams, etc. in the previous wipeout games. IDM is
taking over...

IMO Wipeout games = great presentation, mediocre game.
