Jóhann Jóhannsson — IBM 1401, A User's Manual
albums ·
One of my favorite recordings and composition, a rich swelling ambient wave, with peaking synths and swelling strings. Deeply moody, with sparse hints of nostalgia and optimism.
I heard this album many years ago, and many years after hearing it for the first time ended up working somewhere with an IBM iSeries machine, a direct descendent of the IBM 1401.
