Johann Johannsson Fordlandia CD Album 2008 | Classical | Ambient | MINT CD | Catalog #CAD 2812 CD
Fordlandia is the second studio album released on the 4AD label by the acclaimed Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson. This 2008 masterpiece is a thematic follow-up to his previous work, blending orchestral arrangements with subtle electronic textures and choral elements.
