The Silent Ballet reviews Jóhann Jóhannsson’s Fordlandia

The Silent Ballet reviews Jóhann Jóhannsson’s Fordlandia:

It’s been a long time coming, but Johann Johannsson has finally produced his masterpiece. Previous releases have bordered on brilliance, but the cross-stitching of Fordlandia creates an end result greater than the sum of its parts. In the field of modern composition, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a finer album this year.

That’s some might high praise, considering that this is the guy who released Virðulegu Forsetar and IBM 1401, A User’s Manual, two very fine albums.
