We Have Explosive (6:14)

Cover of Wipeout 2097

From Wipeout 2097 and 7 other releases

We Have Explosive the third track on The Future Sound of London’s 1996 album Dead Cities; it is a digitized mix of big beat drums, mono-tone basslines, aggressive guitar stabs, robotic voices and clinical electric beeps.

The successful standout track from the Dead Cities LP and subsequent We Have Explosive singles was, as with other FSOL singles, released with a plethora of remixed versions of it. It is a harder, more techno-oriented song, which is rare for the band; the track became well known to many after being featured in the 1996 hit video game Wipeout 2097. The song is the first track on the soundtrack, remixes of it were also featured on the other versions of the soundtrack; it was used in the intro sequence, menu screen and in-game.

The track was also used in a 1996 Guinness advert.
