[edit] The single
The successful standout single from FSOL's Dead Cities LP 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 wipE'out" 2097. The song is the first track on the soundtrack, remixes of it were also featured on the other versions of the soundtrack; the "Herd Killing" mix was used in the intro sequence.[2][3]
