Wipeout (Sony) It seems this compilation functions as a promotional vehicle for the Sony Playstation. Rather than coming attached to a music bio, it comes with an advert for Wipeout — a demolition derby' of a computer game featuring music by Orbital, who feature on the soundtrack, I mean, duh, compilation of the same name. The Orbital track ‘Wipeout (PETROL)’ is a bit disappointing, but then, it does sound a bit like computer game music, kind of dark and petrolheady. The rest of the compilation is made up of tried and tested fav’s like ‘Afro Ride’ by Leftfield,' the Hardfloor reworking of ‘Blue Monday’, ‘Age of Love’, ‘Chemical Beats’ and so on. The music, then, is mostly good, as I’m sure is the computer game, but this is the sort of dance compilation my brother would buy. He’s a BCA student who liked grunge, if you catch my drift. (No disrespect intended to BCA students, the grunge brigade or indeed, my bro. Hey, man, aMMMIMMWWii
