The Wisp Archive
a place for all things wisp

No incredible site design, no flashy gimmicks, no random humour. Just the music.

This page has one purpose: to serve as an archive for the net-releases of the electronic artist Wisp. Having finally had his genius recognised by people in high places, he was signed to Sublight Records and to celebrate I decided to compile this page.

However it was not just out of celebration that it was born, but also out of necessity: some of Wisp's releases are no longer available on the net due to certain netlabels going offline, and for those (like myself) without p2p connectivity, it can prove very difficult and frustrating to get one's hands on these releases.

But this is not the case for the majority of the netlabels on which Wisp has released music and I would eagerly urge you to check out not only Wisp's music, but other music released on the netlabels linked to from this page.

Some important points:
  • Only Wisp's freely available music shall ever be hosted here.
  • Do not link to files off this page. Instead link to this page, if necessary.
  • If you have any releases, album artwork, single mp3s by Wisp or information about him that is not on this page, please email me. Contact information is to be found at the bottom of this page.
  • You can extract the music from any packages on this page using 7-zip, the best file compression tool.
  • Full-size artwork is included in album tarballs/zipfiles when possible.
  • This site is the work of a crazed Wisp-enthusiast and its creation has nothing to do with Wisp himself or those involved with the netlabels on which he has released music.
News:

2009/01/08 - Happy new year! Added "From Us To You - Mrs Jynx & Wisp Present", a festive collaboration between Mrs. Jynx and Wisp given to fans as a present in 2007. Sorry I'm a bit late with this one, didn't even know it existed :)
