What really makes Junkie XL stand out on the album is how much concentration he puts into the bass development of the track before moving onto the main melody. “Def Beat,” “Fight,” and “War” all seem like pretty uninspired titles, but really these act as masks for some of the album’s three strongest themes. Need for Speed: ProStreet‘s Junkie XL has a couple of worthy additions to this score too. His contributions are certainly a respectable addition to the game’s score. On the other hand, “Paradigm Shifter” stands out with its hard-hitting approach and dominance of brash synth noises, whilst also maintaining a sturdy ambient backdrop. “Cygnus Rift,” too, has a pretty linear development, and although it is just short of six minutes, and only really consists of a few notes here and there, it never gets boring, and hence excels with its longevity. “Quantum Singularity,” for instance, succeeds through its collection of bizarre synth sounds, strong drum line, and the very careful direction which the development takes.
What can be further noted is how each of his tracks has its own special quality.

With the likes of the fantastic “Quantum Singularity,” “Paradigm Shifter,” and ambient “Cygnus Rift,” Rom Di Prisco lives up to his full potential, beating his contributions featured in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Though his opening track “NFS High Stakes Intro” is dull, don’t let this fool you into thinking that the composer doesn’t amaze on the album. Out of all the composers on the album, Rom Di Prisco has certainly contributed the most themes. Featuring the rather familiar Saki Kaskas and Rom Di Prisco (who composed for the two prior instalments to the series) and Junkie XL (who composed the score for Need for Speed: ProStreet), the Need for Speed IV – High Stakes album is great to listen to, even when separated from the game.
The fourth addition to the Need for Speed series, Need for Speed: High Stakes (known as Need for Speed: Road ChallengeNeed for Speed: Hot Pursuit) which featured an electronic and rock score, the game features a wholly electronic soundtrack. Need For Speed IV -High Stakes- The Album
