BIT Live is Back in 2026 - With a Surprise Date!
The FastLoaders have announced that Back In Time Live will be held again in 2026 in Bergen, Norway, and this time with a - <checks his notes again> - summer date!?! Yes, that's right, folks, for the first time ever, BIT Live will be held as a two-day event smack in the middle of SUMMER on July 31- August 1! Rumors were abound last year that Norway does actually have a summer season, so this might be a good opportunity to fact-check that in person. The event will be at a new venue, too, at the Ole Bull Scene, still in Bergen's city centre, not far from where all the other Norwegian BIT Live events were held in recent years. Tickets are already available for the event at the link below.

Rambo Loader Tune by Matt Gray
Matt posted this tune with the following words on his Reformation 5 Kickstarter page:
I've just put up the new R5 version on Bandcamp of one of my all time favourite SID tunes, the Loading Theme from Rambo First Blood Part 2. Link Below.
Mr Galway excelled himself with the music on that game, and for me the loading track is possibly the greatest C64 game track ever. So I've taken my time in doing my 2nd version of it (the first being on the original Reformation and made well over 10 years ago now) to try and do it justice. I'm very happy with the result and hopefully you will enjoy also.
Work on the LN1 album is progressing nicely and hopefully March will indeed finally see its digital release.
Thanks so much to everyone for all the great comments on the previous R5 track uploads. It's very reassuring to know so many of you are enjoying the new tracks as much as I have enjoyed making them.
Have a great rest of the week all.

Matt Gray has released another single from his upcoming Reformation 5
