Rage Racer - Soundtrack

Soundtrack

There was never an "official" direct-audio soundtrack released for this game unlike its prequels, Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer 2, and Rave Racer, which all had soundtracks on Victor Records in Japan before the PlayStation was released in the United States, but it's possible to listen to it by inserting the game CD, which is a CD-ROM XA disc, into any CD player. Produced during summer/fall 1996, the genre of music consisted mostly of Electronic Music, which was a slight departure from the strictly euro-dance/club styles that early Ridge Racer. It marked the beginning of Namco's new primary sound team after their former members began working with other companies doing production on games such as Street Fighter EX (1996) and Driving Emotion Type-S (2000). Notable tracks include "Silverstream", "Deep Drive", "Rage Racer", and "Lightning Luge" among others. At first, there was no Ridge Racer 6 released soundtrack as well, but it came out some years later.
