Ibm1401: A User's Manual - Johann Johannsson

 
it’s a very impressive pack of epic movie novel (text inlay) and its soundtrack about nostalgia and wisdom thinking of the relationship between 1960’s first iceland-landed ibm 1401 computer and its electromagnetic-generated tones, Johann Johannsson's father, technology, humanity and music and then extended to the story about Johann Johannsson himself and a dancer called erna whose father also works in ibm and their tour in europe….. what a wonderful story with beautiful, nostalgia and touching orchestral music sampled with the sound from that ancient computer……like a indie version of somewhere in time & artificial intelligence…..excellent album indeed!!!
