Chris Keating has sent me a tape of an interview with Colin from just before the release of the 1991 "Black" album. I have cleaned it up and now offer it to you in glorious MP3 format. I have to keep the bitrate low for bandwidth but it's acceptable. There is an acoustic version of Wonderful Life performed at the end. Thanks to Chris for all the trouble and I hope you all enjoy this!
You may notice the old Media library is gone and there are now direct links in the new "Audio" link in the Media Menu.
I have implemented an anti-leech ISAPI filter to protect the images and bandwidth of the site. Some inserted images stopped appearing as a result and I think I have fixed this. Most of you probably could not care less about this stuff but it will explain any strange behaviour you may encounter.
Added a translation tool! I hope it will help our non-english speaking visitors to get more from the site.
I have been told that Colin has 6-7 new songs recorded with Callum McColl in South Africa!
Added a new area for "Wallpapers" and submitted my first little creative spurt. Please submit your own!
More images submitted by Kipper added to Gallery! He has been very generous and if you get a chance throw him a thank you via the private messaging. I am sure he would like the feedback! Huge gallery update! Thanks to Kipper there are now 21 new photos of Colin and band in concert!
Wonderful Life skin now online! News about Remix and Demo CD project has also seen the light of day.
First skin is now online! There may still be bugs with the skin chooser so be patient. The skin is based on Comedy and is not finished! It's a start though!
New round of names suggested in the poll with Asides and besides being the winner of the first poll.
I think I finally fixed the bug with the Message Board and I have crushed a bug with template changing so I hope to offer skins for the site designed around the styles of the different albums released. Colin's new live CD added to albums discography! Samples from Blackleg vol.1 will be available soon! Thanks again goes to Bamby! New page added! "Points of Purchase" features online vendors where you can purchase Black and Colin's recordings. Drop me a note if you know of a place I can add!
Gary Lornie, a well known photographer who worked with Colin during the mid 80's has contacted me and offered some images! A very nice surprise I must say! I have added the full Wonderful Life Video to the media catalogue! It is encoded in Xvid and is only 10 megs. I used Marcel's mpeg and put it through some filters to improve contrast, greyscale and correct the aspect ratio. MP3s from the first album have also been added.
Chat is now available! Testing this new module that does not use IRC and is safe for all to use. Maybe one day we can convince Colin to have a chat with the fans! Added samples of b-sides from "Wonderful Life" to discrography. Still have some more to go. Human Features and More than the Sun samples online in discography. I had not heard these up until yesterday. Thanks Marcel! I just recieved from Bamby a couple of CDs with tracks needed for the CD project and a DVD quality copy of the Wonderful Life Video! Expect an upgrade to the streaming videos. Marcel has given me MP3s of the rest of the b-sides I lacked to complete this site! Expect new samples and additions to the media catalogue soon!
