"This album is just insanely gorgeous. Layered, melancholy, slow. Let it wash over you.
Perfect headphone or loud system listening."

"I heard one track from this album in a coffee bar, was intrigued, and took a chance on the rest of the cd. This is a very cinematic sounding album. However, it tends to be a little bit much to listen to all eleven tracks."
Pure joy

"This is a great CD - a mesmorizing mix of ambient electronica with classical woven in. Can leave it playing for hours."
Moving Album

"You'd be hard pressed to chase down a more literate 'post-classical' composer than Johann Johannsson. Likely a breakout album for the Icelandic composer, Fordlandia is an evocative collection of compositions with Johannsson's signature string based crescendos moving throughout the recording. One of the best."
