       | Wasn't the real iconic soundtrack just a song from FSOL ? I mean
       | nothing wipeout related at first ...

         | were specifically written/edited/remixed for the game.

         | 
         | "Atom Bomb" is much more closely associated with the game,
         | whereas I'd guess many people know "Firestarter" without ever
         | seeing or playing Wipeout games, leaving "We Have Explosive"
         | probably somewhere in the middle.

       | I don't ever remember a song giving me goosebumps that way when I
       | listened to that track for the first time.
