One of the main draws of the Wipeout series has been the soundtrack- the electronica mix normally associated with the series fit perfectly with the futuristic racing.

The game, available this Spring, will have 9 music tracks in total:

* MoveYa! & Steve Lavers: Chemical
* Stanton Warriors: Tokyo
* DJ Fresh: X-Project (100% Pure mix)
* Ed Rush, Optical & Matrix: Frontline
* Noisia: Seven Stitches
* MIST: Smart Systems
* Mason: Exceeder - Special mix
* Booka Shade: Steady Rush
* Kraftwerk: Aero Dynamik

"Wait- only 9 songs?" you say? Well then, how about adding your own to the mix? Sony has confirmed the game will support custom soundtracks using music stored on the PS3's hard drive. If you don't like the music provided, switch up with a band you prefer and have at it!
