"Diesel Shift" has a more industrial focus and features punctuation from various percussion and sound effects. It's just about effective to represent escaping danger during the game, yet is tedious when listened to otherwise. Elements such as the radio voice-over "We need to meet up" scream desperation and have nothing to do with the rest of the piece. "Bell" initially appeals with its groovy bass line and electro-funk line, yet essentially does nothing more interesting during its development. Some tracks have a little more to them, but they're still not good enough. It's linear, repetitive, generic, and ultimately boring. It's devoid of compelling rhythms, interesting melodies, or anything else remotely attractive for stand-alone listening. While this set-up is tolerable for a slow-developing techno track, unfortunately it never develops to anything substantial. It's little more than four minutes of a distorted electronic bass line, coupled with some superficial ethereal overlays. "Limited Slip" gives a taste of what to expect from Ekstrak's score. Need For Speed Carbon Music by Ekstrak features the less than impressive results of the DJ's efforts. Furthermore, Ekstrak was recruited to offer seven original tracks, mostly in electronic and urban styles. However, Trevor Morris was hired to offer some electro-orchestral themes for some of the more dramatic sequences, as featured on an official soundtrack release. Like other recent games in the racing series, it was dominated by licensed music from various semi-mainstream artists. Need For Speed: Carbon featured a fairly multifaceted soundtrack.
