Released in 2012, VMR Power Pack: The Journey So Far (Part 1-2) stands as a landmark compilation or documentary-style project from the VMR (Vision Music Records or associated label/collective).

In 2012, this was a very "forums and fan-wiki" approach to storytelling—relying on the audience’s desire to decode the mystery rather than having the mystery explained to them.
