Wipeout XL is a soundtrack album of various electronica artists from the video game of the same name, released on 01 November 1996.
Wipeout XL, released for Sony PlayStation on 30 September 1996, was the sequel to Wipeout, one of the first video games to incorporate electronic music by mainstream artists into the game. The audio tracks on the video game disc were red book audio and could be played in any CD player by simply skipping the first track, which held the actual game data.
The soundtrack album and the actual soundtrack of the video game do not contain the same collections of music. CoLD SToRAGE supplied several tracks for the game, the Chemical Brothers produced "Dust Up Beats", and Future Sound of London also supplied "Landmass", none of which were included on the soundtrack album. Conversely, Photek's "Titan", the Chemical Brothers' "Leave Home", and the tracks by Daft Punk, Source Direct, Orbital, and Leftfield did not appear in the game itself.
The album spawned one single, "Atom Bomb" by Fluke.
