My little Flash learning project, eRadiRace was in need of a soundtrack, so I dusted off my ancient copy of of Acid and laid down some phat beats* to help keep the gameplay (what there is of it) moving along.
You can groove to it on the eRadiRace page, and remember the late nineties. It has a certain Wipeout PSX thing going for it.
Aside: Wipeout XL. Best video-game soundtrack ever. I have a the original game disk lying around here somewhere, and in a move that would be utterly foreign to the DRM-crazy Sony of today, the songs from the game are encoded on the disk as regular old CD audio.
I was going to link to Amazon, and point to a preview clip, but I realized the song I like best from the game isn’t on the official soundtrack album. Perhaps someone out there can help me identify the artist and song name of this clip:
Some day real soon now I’m going to write up what I have learned in these Flash projects, and how I see it applying to prototyping in a production environment.

The song is “Landmass” by Future Sound of London, and according to a random webpage I’ve found it’s only available on the Wipeout XL game disc.
I’m ripping the disc as I type. I’d forgotten that the music was standard cd audio, I used to listen to it all the time back when I used my regular cd player.
Great, now you have me playing the game. There goes the afternoon.
