WMRI - Sound Archives 2003-2006

Record: 2003-2006 • Edition: 2012 • USC-WR-1201.0001
Traditional Electronic, Ambient, Space, Synthpop

This box collects all of the earlier full-length releases of WMRI, some of which are published for first time on the web. Moreover, all included materials are original masters as they were first meant to be, even the original track titles were saved. These versions aren't considered authentic, but either historic or relic. The reference versions are four of these albums that were remastered and expanded in 2008 and released under the title First Wave. All these materials are going to be remastered soon or late, but for now this fills the holes in your WMRI collection.


None
Record: 2003 • Release: 2003 • USC-WR-1201.0001.01
Traditional Electronic, Space

The first album by WMRI. It is very simplistic, but anyway considered a monumental and major work. It's main idea tends to show a grace in a repetitive forms of electronic symphonic elements. These timid tries attempt to catch every influence heard in earlier years and reproduce them as a new form of minimal laconic music.

Tracklist: 01.Hope (4:54) 02.Sad (4:52) 03.Space Flight (6:38) 04.Miracle (7:36) 05.Meeting Sunrise (5:08) 06.Synthez (6:46) 07.None (5:28)

Composed by WMRI. All instruments programmed, music written, arranged, mixed, produced and artwork by Mike Winchester.

After Rain
Record: 2003 • Release: 2003 • USC-WR-1201.0001.02
Traditional Electronic, Synthpop

Written along with None and even earlier by some compositions it features a title track which is the very first track by WMRI. It has a lot in common with None, but the themes are more diverse and free in style. At the time of creation it was not intended to be something specific or anyhow determined in contents. But now it can be considered a situational work, imitating being in a different places seeing wonderful things: be it a small quiet cafe, a military briefing, a frosty mountain peak or even an interior of a computer.

Tracklist: 01.After Rain (5:10) 02.Mission (5:00) 03.Nightmare in Heaven (5:02) 04.Hardware (4:18) 05.Type Z (4:45) 06.Stars Covering Sky (4:12) 07.Digital Symphony (4:52) 08.Frost Cape (6:33) 09.Rain Again (5:38)

Composed by WMRI. All instruments programmed, music written, arranged, mixed, produced and artwork by Mike Winchester.

  1. Je trouve qu'il est toujours intéressant de réécouter un album "Archive" Ca permet aux vrais fans de se faire une idée quant à l'évolution artistique de leur protégé. Cet album a neuf ans et le son est , certes, très daté. La musique elle, se veut très simpliste mais il faut bien commencer par quelque chose. Et puis , un premier album c'est toujours important. Loin de n'être qu'un simple album de "débutant". Merci à WMRI pour le partage sur Jamendo et sur USC Unlimited... [About album None, Jamendo, 2012-04-17 18:10:55]

  2. WMRI poursuit sa progression en nous présentant son deuxième album, issus de la collection "Archives 2003 - 2006 ". Musicalement, on est proche du premier, des morceaux assez courts, très concis. La principale différence concerne la construction des morceaux, où là, l'artiste commence à prendre un peu plus de liberté et d'originalité, moins bridé. A noter quelques sonorités "techno originelle" du plus bel effet. Merci pour le partage... [About album After Rain, Jamendo, 2012-04-20 18:48:27]
