A SMALL PRODUCTION FROM THE COSINE FACTORY TO CELEBRATE THE END OF THE MILLENNIUM AND ALL THAT! ITS TMR TYPING FOR THE MOMENT BUT NOT FOR LONG. THERE ARE A FEW OTHER MEMBERS OF COSINE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO ILL WANDER OFF AND LEAVE THE KEYBOARD TO SOMEONE ELSE. HI CHANCER TYPING. HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL XMAS. I WAS SHOCKED WHEN TMR ASKED ME TO WRITE SOME TEXT AS I HAVENT DONE ANYTHING ON SIXTY FOUR PROPERLY FOR HMM FIVE YEARS. ANYWAY HOPEFULLY I MAY HAVE DONE SOMETHING BY THE END OF THE YEAR WHO KNOWS! NO PROMISES MIND YOU! TRYING TO GET MY OLD FRIEND MR. STARK INVOLVED AS HE AMONGST OTHERS TAUGHT ME HOW TO CODE AND IS FAR BETTER AT THIS CODING BUSINESS SO WAIT AND SEE! I HAVE BEEN MAKING DRUM N BASS MUSIC AND AM DOING A WEBSITE FOR REINFORCED AT THE MOMENT SO I AM KINDA BUSY WITH THAT THESE DAYS. WHICH REMINDS ME CHECK OUT WWW.COSINE.DEMON.CO.UK COZ I SAID SO! HAHAHA. FEW GREETS TO THE OLD SKOOL LIKE TMR SKYWAVE ODIE AND THE REST OF THE COSINE MASSIVE . MOREN AND BURGLAR OF SUCCESS . RIMFLEX OF PADUA . DERBYRAM . AND OF COURSE MR.STARK. IF I USED TO SWAP WITH YOU ALSO HI. I FEEL REALLY OLD WHEN PEOPLE IN THEIR EARLY TWENTIES SAY THEY CAN JUST ABOU - REMEMBER THE SIXTY FOUR AND THEIR FIRST COMPUTER WAS AN AMIGA. AGGGHHH! DAMN I FEEL OLD. HAHAHA. I IF I MENTION THE ATARI EIGHT BIT THEY THINK I AM FROM THE PLANET ZARG! LOOKING RECENTLY AT OLD DEMOS ON THAT AND THEY DID TRY TO EMULATE THE SIXTY FOUR SCENE COOL BUT KINDA FUNNY. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT DEMOS BY THE HITMEN ON PLAYSTATION THE DEMOS ARE COOL BUT LACK SOUL. LIKE IT SEEMS GROUPS ON THE PC ETC. SEEM TO HAVE RUN OUT OF IDEAS. NOT AS A WHOLE JUST SOME GROUPS INOVATE AND THE OTHERS FOLLOW. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE OLD GROUP XAMPLE MADE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE ON THE PLAYSTATION. IT WAS SO COOL AND MY FRIENDS DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE NAME ON THE SCREEN. OH WELL THOSE IN THE KNOW I GUESS. ANYWAYS ENOUGH OF THIS STORY. HAPPY NEW YEAR! CHANCER OUT. HI ALL. THIS IS MATT OF COSINE TYPING A BIT OF TEXT FOR THIS NEW DEMO. I HOPE YOU LIKE THE MUSIC IN THE NEXT PART I WAS IN A HURRY TO GET IT FINISHED IN TIME SO ITS ONLY A COUPLE OF MINUTES LONG. ANYWAY THE NEW YEAR IS ALMOST HERE SO ILL SEND OUT MY GREETINGS AND HAPPY NEW YEARS TO WAZ . SOLKNIGHT . CROWN OF CRB . THE RETROSPEC TEAM AND ANYONE OUT THERE IN THE SIXTY FOUR SCENE. THATS ABOUT IT FROM ME. HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! MERRY MILLENNIUM CHUMZ! KENZ OF COSINE IS HERE IN A RARE SOBER MOMENT DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON WITH A FEW WORDS OF WAFFLE. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST SCROLLTEXT I WRITE FOR THE OLD BEIGE BREADBIN THIS CENTURY SO DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE FILLED WITH WORDS OF WISDOM? NO WAY MAN! I AM CURRENTLY SAT IN THE ZONE WITH PRETTY WOMAN ON THE TELLY BESIDE ME. JULIA ROBERTS WAS PROVING TO BE QUITE A DISTRACTION SO I HAVE MUTED THE SOUND AND AM NOW PLAYING SOME CLASSIC AMIGA MODS ON THE PC WHILE TYPING THIS STUFF INTO NOTEPAD. FUNNY HOW THE PC IS PLAYING MUSIC GENERATED ON THE AMIGA WHILE HOSTING A SCROLLER DESTINED FOR THE SIXTYFOUR! A DEFINITE SIGN OF THE TIMES THERE. IT IS CURRENTLY AROUND THREE DAYS BEFORE THE DAWN OF THE NEXT MILLENNIUM AND I AM QUITE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. I AM GOING TO GET TOTALLY SMASHED ON NEW YEARS EVE SO IF THERE IS A WORLDWIDE CATASTROPHE CAUSED BY THE MILLENNIUM BUG THEN I WILL NOT BE AWARE OF IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS! I SPOZE IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT ACTUALLY DOES HAPPEN THOUGH. I BET A FEW PEOPLE WILL BE HOLDING THEIR BREATH AS MIDNIGHT APPROACHES. I PERSONALLY WILL PROBABLY BE GOING BERZERK SOMEWHERE IN AN ALCOHOL FUELLED FRENZY OR WILL BE UNCONSCIOUS IN A HEDGE. AT LEAST I GUARANTEE ONE THING WILL CRASH THANKS TO THE MILLENNIUM. AND THAT THING WILL BE ME! AND NOW I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGISE TO ANYONE WHO I FORGOT TO SEND A CHEERY CHRISTMAS GREETING TO THIS YEAR. I ACTUALLY WORK AWAY FROM THE ZONE AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME SO I HAVE VERY LIMITED TIME TO WRITE CARDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO IF YOU DID NOT HEAR FROM ME THEN THAT IS REASON WHY. BORING BUT TRUE! SO WHAT ARE MY PLANS FOR THE MILLENNIUM THEN? THERE IS PLENTY OF GOOD STUFF LINED UP FOR RELEASE FROM ME NEXT YEAR. I WILL BE CONCENTRATING MORE ON PC CDROM PROJECTS AND AUDIO MUSIC CDS. THERE IS ALSO THE THIRTEENTH BINARY ZONE PD CATALOGUE UPDATE AND OF COURSE THE FIRST UPDATE OF THE BINARY ZONE CDROM COLLECTION. AND YOU CAN ALSO EXPECT ISSUE FIFTEEN OF COMMODORE ZONE EARLY IN THE NEW YEAR. I DID INTEND ON RELEASING IT BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR BUT WORKING IN THE REAL WORLD HAS PREVENTED THAT. AT LEAST I THINK IT WAS THE REAL WORLD. OR MAYBE THE MATRIX HAD ME? DOES THAT MEAN CARRIE ANN MOSS WILL SEEK ME OUT? I HOPE SO COS SHE IS A PVC CLAD BEAUTY AND NO MISTAKE! SOMETHING ELSE I WILL BE RELEASING IN THE MILLENNIUM IS MY SECOND XMAS CHORTLES MOVIE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING THE EDITING DONE DUE TO MY VCR KNACKERING SO I AM CURRENTLY SAVING UP MY DOSH FOR A SHINY NEW ONE. AND ON THAT AWE INSPIRING NOTE I AM GOING TO GO AWAY NOW. THE WELL OF INSPIRATION DRIED UP A LONG TIME AGO SO I AM GOING TO GO AND WATCH JULIA ROBERTS. I HOPE SHE HAS SHAVED UNDER HER ARMS FOR THIS MOVIE! UUUUUUUUUUURRRGH! THIS IS CAPTAIN KENZ OF THE USS BINARY ZONE SIGNING OFF. SAYONARA GANG AND HAVE A DAMN HAPPY NEW YEAR! LKJSNAWF SDFS FSDFFFF! SAS? DAS? ASD?! MIDNIGHT! OR MAYBE NOT. THE ORB HERE ON THE KEYS FLOATING INTO SOME K WITH EASE AND GRACE POLISHING OFF A DUTCH GOLD CASE. POETRY I TELLS YE. ANOTHER YEAR AND YET MORE COSINE RELEASES FROM THE MOST ACTIVE GUY IN OUR GROUP TMR KICKING HIS WAY ONTO YOUR SCREEN. BEEN SO LAZY ON SIXTY FOUR LATELY WITH MANY PARTS UNCOMPLETED AND DISKS FULL OF GRAPHICS I WILL HAVE TO GET THE FINGER OUT AND ASSEMBLE SOME STUFF TOGETHER. BUT I HAVE HALF AN EXCUSE AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BECOME VISIBLE IN YOUR SHOP WINDOWS IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. JUST WHAT AM I RAMBLING ON ABOUT EH? SOMETHING ABOUT SIX INCHES LONG. YUP! ITS THOSE SPANKING GORGEOUS COLOUR GAMEBOYS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A GAME FOR SOME TIME NOW AND IT SHOULD BE READY IN A FEW MONTHS WITH ANY LUCK. SO LOOK OUT FOR SOME HOT RELEASES FROM IJAZ PRODUCTIONS. HMMM THIS IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE AN ADVERTISEMENT SO I WILL SHUT IT AND GO WITH A MORE REGULAR GOLDRUSH APPROACH TO TEXTING UP THE SCREEN! BUT WHAT TO TALK ON IS THE QUESTION AND MAYBE SOME DEMOS I HAVE SEEN WOULD BE GOOD BUT I HAVE NOT LIKED MUCH OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST WHILE. THATS NOT TO SAY THAT THE QUALITY IS NOT THERE ITS JUST THAT MY FAVOURITE STYLE IS ABOUT THE TIME OF ALTERED STATES AND KRESTOLOGY AND DEMOS IN THAT FLAVOUR. MINDLESS MATHEMATICAL EIGHT BY EIGHT AND CHUNKY MODE ARE GREAT AND ALL BUT EVENTUALLY BOREDOM SETTLES IN. SO GUYS GET OUT THERE AND HAMMER OUT SOME OLD TECHNICAL STYLE STUFF! RECENTLY SAW THIRTEEN ORA MEGA DYCPS JUST BEATING CROSSBOWS OLD RECORD OF ELEVEN. NOW THIS IS STYLE. ALL MATHEMATICS AND NO STYLE MAKES JACK A DULL LAD. MOVING A WAY TO A DIFFERENT AREA OF DEMOS STUFF AFTER HAVING TO LEARN Z EIGHTY FOR GAMEBOY CODING I BECAME A LITTLE INTERESTED IN THE ZX SINCLAIR SPECTRUM SCENE AND DECIDED TO GET SOME DEMOS AND SEE WHAT THE OLD BEAST COLD DO. AND I HAVE TO ADMIT IT I WAS QUITE IMPRESSED WITH THE OLD RUBBER KEYED MACHINE! DYCPS FLDS FPPS RAY TRACED ANIMS. THE LITTLE GUY COULD DO A LOT! BUT EVEN MORE INTERESTING I FOUN WAS THE RUSSIAN SCENE! THEY HAVE FUNKY MODIFIED SPECTRUMS WITH ONE TWENTY EIGHT K AND TWO FIFTY SIX K MODELS KNOWN AS PENTAGON AND SCORPION. RESPECTIVELY. NOW THESE ADD A BIT MORE FLAIR TO THE OLD ONE. DEMO GROUPS NOTICEABLY FLASH INC ANY RELATION TO SIXTY FOUR FLASH I DONT KNOW AND HIGHLY DOUBT BUT THESE GUYS EVEN MADE SPECS FOR A SOUND CHIP OTHER THAN AY AND USE IT IN THEIR DEMOS ETC. WEIRD AND COOL STUFF AND I RECOMMEND YOU TO GET X ONE TWO EIGHT WITH PENTAGON AN SCORPION ROMS AND CHECK SOME OUT! NEVER BEAT THE SIXTY FOUR OFCOURSE! BUT ITS STILL COOL TO SEE SOME ROUTINES. SO HERE WE ARE THEN IN THE FINAL FEW MINUTES OF THIS YEAR DECADE CENTURY AND MILLENNIUM AND WHAT ARE WE USING? NONE OTHER THAN THE RAW POWER OF THE ONE MHZ EIGHT BIT POWER HOUSE THAT IS THE CBM SIXTY FOUR! WHO WOULD HAVE IMAGINED IN EIGHTY TWO THAT PEOPLE WOULD STILL BE USING THIS HUMBLE MACHINE AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY?! THAT THREE TWENTY BY TWO HUNDRED AT SIXTEEN COLOURS PER CELL AND EFFECTIVE ONE TWENTY ONE COLOURS ON SCREEN WOULD BE POSSIBLE? THAT BORDERS FLD FPP TECH TECH AND ALL THE REST COULD BE DONE? NOONE! AND THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF THIS MACHINE. ITS A CODERS DREAM. WHERE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE INNER TIMINGS OF THE CHIPS IS NEEDED TO KICK ASS ON THE DEMO SCENE. THIS IS WHY THE PC SCENE IS ALREADY DEAD. THIS IS WHY IT HAS NO STYLE. WHY MP THREE WITH FMV DEMOS WILL ALWAYS BE LAME. SORRY IF I AM OFFENDING ANY PC SCENERS OUT THERE BUT EVEN YOU MUST ADMIT THAT THE FUN AND CHALLENGE ARE NOT THERE LIKE ON THIS OLD MACHINE OR SPECTRUM OR AMIGA FIVE HUNDRED. PC COMPOS ARE NOW HOLDING TWO SECTIONS ACCELLERATED AND NON ACCELLERATED. WHY? TO TRY TO KEEP SOME SORT OF CHALLENGE IN THERE. PERSONALLY I DONT THINK THE CHALLENGE IS THERE IF THE HARDWARE UPGRADES EVERY SIX MONTHS. BUT AGAIN THESE ARE ONLY MY OPINIONS. BUT ENOUGH OF THIS AND ON TO OTHER THINGS. NOT TO FORGET I HOPE ALL YOU GUYS HAD A COOL CHRISTMAS AND NE YEAR! PLENTY OF DUTCH GOLD FOR ME. THE DRINK OF KINGS AND STUDENTS! SO MANY GOOD TIMES WITH THE OLD DUTCHY! SO MUCH TEXT. SO MUCH TO SAY. RAMBLING ON AND ON. IN THIS UNCONTROLLABLE WAY. DONT KNOW IF ANY OF YOU GUYS OUT THERE ROCK CLIMB BUT IF YOU DO YOU MUST GO TO THE MOURNE MOUNTAINS IN IRELAND! THERE IS A UK E.TEN THERE WAITING FOR YOU! I THINK ITS EITHER THE HARDEST OR SECOND HARDEST TRAD ROUTE IN THE WORLD! AND THERE IS NO WAY I COULD LEAD IT OR SECOND FOR THAT MATTER! BUT YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO NOW! I THINK THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO PASS THE KEY OVER TO ONE OF THE OTHER COSINE GUYS. BUT BEFORE. I STORY BUDDY! TO THESE GUYS OLLI . DONNCHA . LIAM . OWEN . RONAN . RICHARD . STEVE AND ALL THE OTHER OLD SCENERS I KNOW! HAVE A SIX PACK OF DUTCHY ON ME! IN THE TRADITIONAL STYLE I LEAVE YOU WITH MAATTTLLLLOOOCCK HEY BOY. HEY GIRL. SUPERSTAR DJS. HERE WE GO! SKYWAVE HERE TAPPING THE KEYS FOR THE MILLENNIAL COSINE SLICE OF TECHNAUTICA. ITS GREAT TO BE BACK. ITS GREAT TO BE CONTRIBUTING EVEN THE SMALLEST BIT TO TMRS HARD WORK!

I HOPE THOSE GUYS ARE FINALLY INTO THE REAL THINGS OF LIFE LIKE BEER WOMEN BEER CARS WOMEN MORE WOMEN ETC. NOT THAT I AM THAT SHALLOW A GUY BUT IT PAYS OCCASIONALLY TO PARE LIFE DOWN TO ITS SIMPLEST PARTS! SO WHAT HAS THE MIGHTY SKYWAVE BEEN UP TO THESE LAST FEW YEARS?
