Jóhann Jóhannsson - Fordlândia

Originally released just as J�hann's star was rising in the world of modern composition, Fordl�ndia is a beautiful meld of strings and electronics, with two themes running throughout; 'This album is like a film with two separate story lines that at first don�t seem to have a lot to do with each other, but actually they do', said J�hann at the time. The idea of failed utopias is the main thread, with the album's title is a reference to the Fordl�ndia rubber plantation in Brazil that Henry Ford built.
