\| Main \| \| Last Updated \| Wed 26th Mar 2003 19:00hrs GMT	The Chiller : Archived News This is where you can find all of the archived news that had been previously shown on the Main page. Here you can find the news, updates and topics of old from The Chiller. The news goes from most recent, descending to older entries. This archive will build up over time and is here because it would be inconvenient for the you to scroll up and down an endless page of news. This would be very frustrating, and frustration is the feeling we want to avoid and dont want to promote here, instead it should be relaxed and chilled. So take a browse through the archives using the page links to different archives, and keep things chilled... *Mark* .: \| Archived Pages \| :. newest >>>>> oldest \| 1 \| 2 \| \| 12th June 2003 \| Images, feedback, summer........... \| Track \| Groove Armada - Inside My Mind (Blue Skies) Just a small update. I was trailing through my computer and came across two images that were part of Windows XP Pro and decided they are eligible for the images section, so they have been added, as they are cool. Next thing, feedback.... I have had not one email regarding a forum for the site and I'm pretty dissapointed. I love this site and would hope that some of you guys do. I was hoping to interact with some of the users to find out how to make the site better, so until I get more visitors and a readerbase that will give me some feedback, then there wont be a forum, as I dont see the bother just yet for it to fail. Anyways, please do email me and let me know, it only taknes 2 minutes of your time, email addresses are on contacts page. Also, during the summer, Im hoping to get some good quality photographs of sunsets etc. During the summer, the site will not be updated as much as I'd like, because I'm going to have to work my ass off to stay at Uni. Chow for now... *Mark* \| 9th June 2003 \| Links, tunes, images, holidays........... \| Track \| ATB - Underwater World Update for today, a bit late as well. I have been feeling a bit upbeat today, so ATBs Underwater world is my track of the day. Its is pretty ambient and mellow, but upbeat at the same time. I like it lots. Speaking of new tracks, I stumbled upon http://www.crookram.net today and I must say I'm very impressed. I really liked the tracks Crookram has created and he has given me permission to link his site, which I will do gladly. Please go and check it out, its about as chilled as you get, it has a great colour scheme and layout. You wont be dissapointed. Download his free sample tracks, sign his guestbook and be glad you clicked this link to his site. Onto other news, a friend of mine sent me an photo today that he took not long ago and had photoshopped. I love the sky and feel it has a certain chilled effect to it. Its over at the Images section to download, go check it out. Its an image of Scotland capital, Edinburgh (where I am studying my degree) The original image he sent me was massive and I had to chop a nice section from it to make it a good size for a desktop. Anyway, the summer is now here and tomorrow is my last day at University, I have to leave my flat (and its fast internet connection) I have enjoyed my first year as an undergraduate student and I'm looking forward to a good summer. I will update this site over the summer, but the updates will be infrequent, I hope this doesn't put you off visiting, but I simply won't have the time to do a lot of updating. When I do, I'll make sure it's a big one! Until then, peace out... *Mark* \| 3rd June 2003 \| Updates, Fixes, Forums & Images........... \| Track \| Jakatta - It Will Be I got a listen to the Jakatta Album on CD called 'Visions.' I was pretty interested in this group as I like their approach to music, and I'm impressed with the album, one track that stood out was It Will Be. This is a great track which is dreamy and chilled, so it gets the track of the day spot. I have also fixed links in the music links section and added information about Gregvickers.com. Yesterday, I was talking to Litervis, who hangs around Chilledbeats.org and he sent me some nice chilled images which I have uploaded. We were also discussing whether a message board or message forum would be a good idea for The Chiller. I have my doubts as to whether this will be a good idea or not, as they may get a lot of interest and be a success, then again, they may not be successful and look stupid. I really want your comments and feedback on this, as I'd give it a shot if I knew it would improve the website and increase the amount of visitors. Remember, it is the users that make a website popular, and It's in your hands... I also wouldn't mind if people could suggest some artists and songs for my new CD I'm going to make for the summer. Please let me know so I can find the songs and listen to them and see if I like them for my latest compilation... Please send me some feedback regarding the forums and compilations... Many thanks, *Mark* \| 2nd June 2003 \| Updates, Forums, Hits, Indie songs & sunburn........... \| Track \| The Stone Roses - Shoot You Down (Soul Hooligan Remix) I guess I'll garner some strange looks for having an Indie band on my trac of the day, the truth is, this is a good remix of a song and it has a relaxing feel. I like it a lot and so it gets the pride of place on the Track of the day slot. To other things, I havent updated for a while and I've been rethinking parts of the site, I have decided not to put a soft drinks section in after all. I have updated the lifestyle section and added another item to help you relax. Check it out and see what you think, its at the bottom at number 10 and has a little funny anecdote as well. I have seriously been considering a message board / forum for the site. I would like to hear some views or opinions for if this is worth the bother or not. As I reckon a forum could help users keep in contact and discuss some things to do with the chill out scene. Please email me and let me know what you think. The hits for the site have dropped a big bit in the last few weeks, and I cant say I blame you guys for it, its mainly due to lack of updates. I would appreciate suggestions and stuff, full credit will be given. Now, onto the sunburn issue, I was working at an outdoor pool yesterday and got really bad sunburn, I was too late on putting the sun lotion on and the result is: I look like a lobster! Just thought I'd share that with you all... *Mark* \| 23rd May 2003 \| Commitments, Uni and more web stuff........... \| Track \| Nightmares On Wax - Nights Interlude Sorry for the shameful lack of updates. I have just been handed control of my University roller hockey team website and have had to do a lot of work on it to get it up to speed. Therefore I've had no time to update the site. I have also had to finish two essays this week, and I'm sure that I have no more at all for the rest of term. Hopefully on Monday I'll can add some new content. I was thinking of adding a new area to the drinks section to cover some soft drinks which I feel are good. The content of the site will slowly increase and I'm glad it's still attracting interest, keep visitng. I have also managed to get a hold of some Nighmares On Wax albums and I've neem listening to them constantly, its good stuff and I reckon you should have a listen or check out their sound. Until next time, bye for now... *Mark* \| 11th May 2003 \| New song, being tired, nothing much else........... \| Track \| J-Walk - French Letter This is just a small update for you all to read about. This is being written so late tonight, because I'm not long home and settled in from playing some roller hockey (which we lost 10-3) We have beaten the team before, but oh well that doesn't matter. What does matter though, is that I've been given a great tune from Petros. This tune is by an artist called J-Walk and the song called French Letter. Mostly because I was pissed off at hockey, being tired from work, and driving most of the day, Petros gave me this tune and I really like it. Its very smooth and chilled and I think you all should try and find it. I know I'm asking my friend to get me more tracks by this artist as I would quite like to hear more of their stuff. Anyways, grab a beer (like I'm just about to) and go chill out... *Mark* \| 8th May 2003 \| Some updates, CDs, and other stuff.......... \| Track \| Nightmaers On Wax - Les Nuits I was very pleased at the weekend, as my younger brother came through with some old pop CDs and the likes of mine that somehow had fallen into his posession. He handed them to me and what did I find? My first ever Chill Out compilation that I had ever listened to! This was a CD given out by Ministry magazine in about 1999 with Issue 4 of the magazine I think, as the CD has '004' on the case and CD itself and is called Ibiza Chillout. This was composed and mixed by an artitst called A Man Called Adam. I was overjoyed when I got the CD as it was what introduced me into the ambient chilled scene. What amazes me more is that Nightmaers On Wax - Les Nuits was on this CD and I never recall hearing it before, although clearly I had. This is one of my all time favourites and hence why it's my track of the day. I am absolutely amazed that I cannot recall ever listening to it before. Anyway, moving on to other updates, I have added a few more chilled items in the Lifestyle section, so head on over and see the new things. I added a hammock as it was on the cover of this old CD that was found. Enough ramblings for today, I'm off to listen to the CD.....(again) *Mark* \| 29th Apr 2003 \| Some new linky things........... \| Track \| Julien Bain - Futures Once again, the track of the day if Futures by Julien Bain, as it's my new favourite. Yesterday, I recieved an email from one of the first visitors to TheChiller and he has informed me of his Electronica outfit Grenoble. Anders aka Litervis has provided me with a lot of feedback and correspondance in relation to TheChiller, over on the Chilledbeats.org Forums. I also recieved an email wishing me to listen to a track by Dan Warb, which is a chilled remix of Underworlds Born Slippy, which he craftily renamed Born Sleepy. Dan Warb is into the chill out scene and is pretty good with his remixes, and is worth checking out. Born Sleepy is pretty good and can be heard here. You can catch the links to these new sites over on the Music Links page. That's all Ive got time for to add today, I'll see about getting some updates to the Lifestyle and drinks section pretty soon. Until next time, have a listen to Born Sleepy and chill out... *Mark* \| 28 Apr 2003 \| New Favourite tune, Links, Pictures and idle ramblings... \| Track \| Julien Bain - Futures Thought I'd add a new update seeing as Ive been busy and neglecting the site a little. Ive started work placement for my University degree and it has been fun. I've got another 3 weeks to go roughly and I hope it goes as well as it is now. Also over the holidays got a few upgrades for my PC in the form of an AMD Athlon XP 1700 Processor, an extra 256MB RAM (now at 768MB) and an nVidia GeForce 2 MX 400 graphics chip, as well as a new 24x CD writer. Well its official, I have a new favourite chill Out track, which was composed by Julien Bain. Julien is a fellow Scotsman, and I feel I owe him the publicity he deserves for making such a good tune. You can keep up to date with Juliens progress at www.julienbain.co.uk. I will have the lastest information on any new tracks he makes and I must say I'm looking forward to his next one. Meanwhile, why don't you have a listen to Futures to get you by. I have updated the necessary parts of The Chillers' winamp skin as best as I can. So the new download is available and supercedes the older version. I have also added to new cool sunset pictures in the Images section of the site. One is by an unkown person and I stumbled across it on the internet. Another is by me from during my holidays when i decided it was a nice night and took a picture. Unfortunately the digital camera isnt too great. Im hoping sometime when I get money to buy a new 70mm Lens for my SLR camera, and get good photos and scan them to make desktop images. Anyway, that's all for now and I hope you call back, until then, sling on Futures and relax... *Mark* \| 15th Apr 2003 \| Winamp Skin fixes, Archives........... \| Track \| Darude - Touch Me, Feel Me As I have just gotten around to updating my winamp, it came as a bit of a surprise as version 2.9 has two new default windows that need skinned. I will do this and expect an updated skin on monday. Meanwhile you can use the present version until the updated skin is ready for download. I have also began an archived news section, where all the news of old can be found. This way it stops the website going on for ages, but splits the news into sets of 10 entries. Making browsing easier for you. Ill get around to adding some more content in the various areas, but I have an essay to do, so i best be getting on with it. Until next time... *Mark* \| 1 \| 2 \|
