Yuzo Koshiro is da man. Another impressive foray into the world of techno/trance. What I love most about the Wangan soundtracks is how uniform they are. Yes, they all sound similar...and THAT is the point!
I wish ALL racing game soundtracks would just stick with fast bass thumping, adrenaline pumping beats and leave out the esoteric crap that I don't want to listen to while driving at the edge of sanity. Wipeout and Gran Turismo are so guilty of this.
Sure, the soundtracks have more variety and are great if you're just sitting around listening.
But who the hell wants to hear a slow-holy cow,sometimes-wonky beat while driving at 300 miles an hour? Breaks my concentration, nigga.
Give me Koshiro's slightly generic soundtrack anyday. Anyway, great music, great game.
