Product Description

CD Description

Johann Johannsson's second album in a conceptual trilogy about American technology (the first being IBM 1401, A USER'S MANUAL), 2008's FORDLANDIA finds the lauded Icelandic composer once again working his mesmerizing modern-classical magic. Closest in its sweeping orchestral scale to his own gorgeous ENGLABORN, the recording features tracks inspired by automagnate Henry Ford's ill-fated Brazilian settlement, including the majestic title track and "The Rocket Builder (Io Pan!)," an achingly melancholy piece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent, 11 Nov 2008
This is the second in Johann's planned trilogy based on technology and picks up where the truly stunning IBM 1401, A User's Manual (released in 2006) left off. A modern classical masterpiece - I find it inconceivable that anyone would give this less than five stars! Sweeping strings, delightful electronic bursts, soaring harmonies that can't but help yank one's emotions all over the place. Anyone lucky enough to see Joahnn's live gig at the Union Chapel in the summer 2008 will know what a building-shaking, emotion-shattering talent this guy is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fordtastic, 6 Oct 2009

Found this on a web forum and gave it a try, astouding music. Look for it on youtube then buy it, Gods theme music (if there was one, a God that is)
