WMRI - Desert Dreams

Record: 2007 • Edition: 2012 • USC-WR-1202.0024
Traditional Electronic, Berlin School

Desert life is not as monotonous as it may seem to be at first sight. If you look narrowly at it you can notice a lot of details. The first impression is vast yellow ocean of sand. The wind twists whirls above it and, as a great architect, constantly builds dunes and barkhans. And he does not like when strangers enter his landscapes, and summons sandstorm, hiding their tracks and sweeping away everything from his domains. Salvation can only be in oasis - a small island of life. However, sometimes the desert seems to stand, and only a thin strip of horizon divides the yellow ocean and the azure sky. And when night falls, darkness veils the desert, and only bright light of the stars in the cloudless sky is pulling away from oblivion.

SKAARJ - The Human and the World: The Retrospective of the Modern

Record: 2011 • Edition: 2012 • USC-WR-1201.0005
Traditional Electronic, Berlin School

In an attempt to create new stuff SKAARJ mixes classical ambient with elements of industrial, techno and noise in a conceptual album. «The Human and the World» is like a different point of view on a modern globalized mankind and a history of a person inside it trying to find oneself. Using only outdated software and archival samples most of which are made before 1997, analogue synthesizers and 8-track editor SKAARJ produces the true old school sound of the 20th century.

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.
