The PS1 was an unrivaled time for soundtracks that go incredibly hard. Games like Ridge Racer Type 4, No One Can Stop Mr. Domino, Ape Escape (and basically anything that Soichi Terada ever did), Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere and Ghost in the Shell: Megatech Body all punch well above their weight. Hell, even the Animorphs game kinda goes. In that vein, if you have never listened to the soundtrack to Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf AKA Looney Tunes Sheep Raider, you should correct that right now because it contains at least one incredible heater.
Banger.
Sheep, Dog ‘n' Wolf was a bizarre celshaded stealth action puzzler that came out in 2001 starring Ralph Wolf (NOT Wile E. Coyote) and described at the time by Infogrames’ Director of Marketing as “E-Rated Metal Gear.” The soundtrack was done by a musician named Eric Caspar, and though a lot of it feels like boilerplate production music, it does have bangers.
One track in particular stands out, an ambient DnB track that could easily fit into any racing game from the era. It is unclear what this track is called or if it has a name, although I have seen a few sites like KHInsider and Discogs cite it as “Fronzy Last/Fronzylast_v3.” The track itself appears in the Planet X stage later in the game, which you can see by watching this speedrun attempt.
Anyway, enjoy this oddly specific track that keeps appearing in my YouTube suggested feed. Also check out this extremely of-the-era full page print ad complete with Typewriter font.
