thiccmik I straight up feel like im on a different planet looking for the edge of the horizon. Absolutely banger album and would highly recommend if you enjoy sinking deep into the tones and drones of the music. Favorite track: Side B (Out of the Silent Planet).

quietguy One of the best releases in 2020. Any fans of Steve Reich out there? Give this excellent recording an hour of your time - a peak experience lies within.

kaosskid A true masterpiece, thank you for the wax! Favorite track: Side B (Out of the Silent Planet).

about

Merrin Karras’ 2020 foray into extended compositions combining his Berlin School tendencies and expansive ambient is finally pressed-up on transparent smoke 12”. Remastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and featuring revisited art by Noah M / Keep Adding.
~~
Conceived and composed in two days, 'Silent Planet' is Brendan's first attempt at a fully continuous piece of music. Normally, albums under his Merrin Karras guise take many months, if not years, to put together:

"I wanted to challenge myself to create a mini-album in a short amount of time, not to think too much about it, but just to let it flow and see what happened. Everything was created in one project, but it's comprised of six distinct sections. Several motifs and elements are re-used at various points throughout the work. It's also the first time that I've used percussion elements in a Merrin Karras work".

The mood spans from brooding to almost Balearic at points, with strong elements of Berlin School and Space Music, classic Trance, and Ambient all intertwined.
