In stockThe Story
Fordlandia is the second album in Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson's conceptual trilogy about American technology, following IBM 1401, A USER'S MANUAL. Released in 2008, this mesmerizing modern-classical work features sweeping orchestral pieces inspired by Henry Ford's ill-fated Brazilian settlement, including the majestic title track and the achingly melancholy 'The Rocket Builder (Io Pan!).'
