    Have been listening to the film's soundtrack for the past few weeks while programming. It might be that the OST is hardcoded into my brain and that's why I found it so appropriate to listen to it while coding - but it's great to get into "the zone". I was looking for something like that to listen - without much luck so far. Will give a try to Wipeout's tracks. They look promising :)

    This is from 1994. My recollection is that the average American of that time would refer to any electronic music as “techno”, especially if it had a strong beat. Checking a few cultural markers (Wipeout and its soundtrack: 1995. Pi, the first movie I saw with a soundtrack full of the music I was listening to: 1998.) matches my memories.
