Tim Wright aka CoLD SToRAGE has been making some of the best tunes to fuel your need for speed in the F3600 anti-gravity racing league. But what happens after the race when your back in your mansion chilling out poolside with your VR headset on drinking in the cool air of 2025’s digital ocean? You’ll want some replaxing music to take you down from the uber-high of anti-grav racing. Tim Wright’s new album Ch’illout” does just that, all your favorite songs remixed, slowed down and chilled out.
This is a first for Tim as the album is going to available physically, crazy right? After all the cyber-dystopian neon and augmented humans trying to become more digital than human we go back to the physical. The 14 chilled out tracks will be spread across 2 CD’s in 6 sided package and a double sided color poster. All the artwork featured is by original WipEout artists so it’s sure to be just perfect. Picking up the album before Dec 28th 2015 for a chance to win one of the three Strix Memoria USB Albums that are individually numbered and signed by CoLD SToRAGE himself.

Ch’illout” : CoLD SToRAGE launches pre-order for new WipEout Remix Album
The WipEout franchise begins celebrating its 20th year in 2015.
And although development of WipEout product seems to have ceased for the time being, the titles and associated music are still very much loved.
To celebrate this anniversary, Tim Wright aka. CoLD SToRAGE is developing a brand new music collection based on his music from these anti-gravity games.
Taking the bulk of his musical contribution to this well respected franchise, he is dialling down the BPM, and fully re-developing them in a more chilled style.
This new collection will span two Compact Discs – a first for Wright, as his past works have only been generally available via Digital Download. There are also
some added bonuses to pre-ordering this first physical CoLD SToRAGE CD, in the form of custom artwork, a double sided poster and the chance to win prizes.
CD production will be based on pre-orders received, so a deadline has been set at 28th December 2015 for all fans to place their order.
Wright says;
“I was driving home earlier in the year, and I started whistling a tune. It seemed very familiar, but I couldn’t quite place it.
When I arrived at home, I happened to glance at my game collection and my eyes landed upon the Wipeout 2097 box.
It was then that I realised the melody was from ‘Operatique’, one of my music tracks from the original WipEout game.
However… I’d been whistling it at a much slower pace, and that’s when the idea of a chilled or ambient mix took hold.
As an experiment, I took that very song and broke it down into it’s component parts, to develop a more moody piece.
I was really pleased with the results, and decided to put it to my fan base for a reaction… thankfully it got the thumbs up!
Previously I’ve released everything digitally or on USB stick, so my first physical CD release is going to be something really quite special.
It’s on 2 x CDs to accommodate all the music, and features artwork from some really talented ex.Psygnosis artists who worked on WipEout.
We also have a free competition to win 3 x copies of ‘Strix Memoria’ – a very rare USB album in the shape of the Psygnosis Owl logo.”
