BBC Radio 1 Big Games Weekend - Time to vote!
Radio 1 in the UK are having a vote for the top 100 games of all time. The shortlist has been published, and we're proud to say Wipeout is in there! You can go vote for your favourite game by clicking here BigGamesWeekend . It goes without saying we're excited that Wipeout made it to the shortlist, but on Monday 25th May Radio 1 will be playing music from selected computer games, and it would be great if some CoLD SToRAGE was played. Many of you have already started lobbying Radio 1 for some SToRAGE on the day - many thanks to you all (esp. David Foster) and fingers crossed!

CoLD SToRAGE proudly presents... "PROJECT MOONBOUNCE 2009"
2009 will see CoLD SToRAGE literally reach into space! Currently in the planning stages, PROJECT MOONBOUNCE is an ambitious concept to literally bounce music off the moon and then re-integrate it 'live' into a musical recording. A melodic section of a specially composed musical track will be passed into a powerful radio transmitter and directed at the moon. The returning signal will take approximately 3 seconds to return, and this will be re-incorporated into the music. CoLD SToRAGE says, "This project brings together my love of music and astronomy. I'm also a fully licenced radio amateur, so I've been aware of EME ( Earth-Moon-Earth ) principals for some time... but it only came to me as an idea to marry up the two very recently. It's going to take a fair bit of organisation and planning, but I'm really excited by the whole project and can't wait to hear the end results!", more news as it happens...

CoLD SToRAGE HD launches 14th October 2008
Good news!
The CoLD SToRAGE HD mini-album will be available to buy from here on Tuesday 14th October, and will comprise of 6 brand new tracks! One of these tracks is quite special... it was originally intended to feature on the first ever Wipeout game in 1995. Thought to have been lost to the mists of time due to an Amiga floppy drive failure, this track was recently found on an old ZIP disc backup drive after preparations for a house move. After a week or two of loving restoration you can now hear this track along with 5 other long play mixes on the new album. We hope you enjoy listening!

CoLD SToRAGE HD Album
It seems we've been caught by surprise here at CoLD SToRAGE HQ! Release dates for Wipeout HD were always speculation until recently, however it's been confirmed that it will be released in America and the UK tomorrow. The date we were working to here in terms of getting 'CoLD SToRAGE HD' released was mid October, so we have some catching up to do! But never fear, work will be stepped up on the forthcoming album so you shouldn't have to wait too long for some more CoLD SToRAGE tracks. As soon as we have a release date we'll let you all know! We hope you enjoy playing the game in the meantime...

CoLD SToRAGE Forum will now be on FaceBook!
After some deliberation, it has been decided to not host a forum on the website. We have had several issues over the years, with abusive postings, hacker hijackings and so on. Therefore we have decided to use the well known FaceBook application to allow people to post all their comments, videos and so on. Please click HERE to go to the newly created CoLD SToRAGE FaceBook group. Hope to see you there!

CoLD SToRAGE interviewed on OCReMix...
Some weeks back OCReMix contacted Tim to see if he would be happy to kick off their interview section with an in-depth and lengthy article. Happy to oblige, Tim sat down and typed his way through umpteen questions about music, games, life, the universe and almost everything! if you'd like to read the interview then take a trip to OCReMix.
The CoLD SToRAGE HD album is coming along well, and should be complete in the next couple of weeks... we'll keep you posted!

Colony Wars now available from FREE MUSIC section!
Tim has finally had time to re-master the Colony Wars tracks for hosting on the CoLD SToRAGE website. These files were kindly sent in from a dedicated fan who took the time to rip all the tunes from the actual game, as the masters for these tracks had long since disappeared in an office move at Psygnosis (SCEE Liverpool). Many thanks for doing this... and sorry it took so long to sort it out! For the tech-heads amongst you, these files were stored on the PlayStation disc at 37kHz and in a compressed format, so Tim has had to do some re-sampling, E.Q. and other bits of TLC to get these tracks as close as possible to 44.1kHz original CD quality. For those of you who have waited patiently for these tracks we hope they bring back some great memories of playing Colony Wars!

Website makeover and Android Child released!
Firstly the CoLD SToRAGE website has had a much needed tidy-up. Now everything should be easier to navigate and we've opted for a nice, simply layout. If you need to have a one-on-one with CoLD SToRAGE simply send an e-mail to the address at the top of this page... he will read every e-mail and will attempt to reply to every one as time permits.
OK, more importantly Android Child is now available from this site! For the past few months we've been in discussion with various CD pressing companies and none of them filled us with joy and excitement. So, until we can find one that fits us we are going to offer it for sale as a digital download in the same way as MELT. If you'd like to get your hands on the album, simply click on "BUY STUFF " in the menu or just CLICK HERE. We hope you enjoy Android Child!

The RETRO Vibe continues!
After having had loads of fun with the SK-1 at the start of the year, CoLD SToRAGE brings you a small tribute to the Commodore C64 and more importantly the 6581 / 8580 SID Chip. The following tune has never actually been anywhere near a SID chip, it was all composed using REASON 3 using the built-in synths along with one sample from the SK-1.
However in the spirit of things the style is all C64 retro! CLICK HERE

Happy New Year...
2008 is in full swing, so what about CoLD SToRAGE? Yes, work is still progresses on pressing Android Child. The original company ear-marked for publication has proven unreliable, so we're reconsidering our options. In the meantime, here's a small piece that happened through sheer chance. Mrs. SToRAGE was in a local Charity Shop and she spotted a little Casio keyboard hiding in the corner labeled£3.00. She took it home and it turned out to be an SK1.
After a couple of hours of amusing fun, C.S. sampled all it's sounds and put together this track... Click HERE to listen. C.S. says, "I had great fun putting this little song together. I may well expand on this at some later stage. Not my usual style, but a kind of Electro Jazz. Making cheesy electro music with these sounds is quite easy and a load of fun!" Here's hoping 2008 brings you everything you need and some of what you want... :O)
