The Terra Collection

by Todd Merrell

supported by

Todd Merrell The album that started it all - on Bandcamp, anyway. Originally recorded for the Mille Plateaux sublabel Cluster, this is a collection of ambient glitch, ancient artifacts from the distant future that I made over the course of several years, yet they're all of a piece. Definitely meant to be listened to from start to finish as an album - remember those? Favorite track: Gliding.

glennnevill Need music? Of course you do. This is an awesome album. Check it out. Seriously this is a fine album. I was riding the bus in San Francisco and I listened to this album on earbuds. It felt like the soundtrack to the city. It was an eerie feeling. Favorite track: Gliding.

Optimal.LP

The most human, tactile, and emotional ambient glitch album I've ever heard, it was the inspiration for my own album, 'The Terra Collection'. A beautiful, invisible soundtrack for the future. Todd Merrell

The Disintegration Loops
by William Basinski

Honestly, how anyone can capture such longing and loss from aging reel to reel tapes is beyond me. The slowly decaying elegance of this album, in concept and execution, is astounding. Todd Merrell

Novaya Zemlya promo
by Thomas Koner

The culmination of Köner's distant, cool, remains found in the distant future aesthetic, his influence is so great that it influenced my influences. The album just ended, but I can still hear it. Todd Merrell
