  2. Listening to this to try and calm tf down, and remembering I wanted to get a copy of the book the film is based on, Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon. Has anyone read it? I see there's an abridged version coming out later this year as part of MIT Press’s Radium Age series, not sure if being abridged is a good thing?

  3. Was für eine Stimmung herrscht bei mir am langen Weihnachtswochende? Höre ganz viel #GutMukke von #JóhannJóhannsson und #HildurGuðnadóttir. Passt auch sehr gut zur Lektüre von #MarkZDanielewski|s »Tom’s Crossing«.

  4. My 2nd favourite spooky season listen, though I listen to this all year round. I still haven't seen the movie, lol.

    Jóhann Jóhannsson - Mandy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2018)

  5. Now playing this odd little experimental pop album I should've known about before but only just recently found via browsing Discogs. Dip = Jóhann Jóhannsson (pre-Kitchen Motors/solo/film scores) and Siggi Baldursson (i.e., drummer of The Sugarcubes, Kukl, Þeyr, etc.), with appearances by various Icelandic friends including Jónsi.

    Dip - Hi-Camp Meets Lo-Fi (1999)

  10. This posthumously released collection of unused tracks by Jóhann Jóhannsson is essentially what the inside of my head sounds like right now. Still gutted about losing him.

  11. I bought the reissue of Englabörn (retitled Englabörn & Variations) as soon as it came out, but that happened to be less than 2 months after Jóhann Jóhannsson had left us, and I wasn't in the mood for hearing anyone's 'covers' of his work, I just wanted the originals. So even up to now, 6 years later, I've pretty much ignored the "Variations" tracks, making this Ryuichi Sakamoto rework a rather nice surprise.

  12. [This guest post was written by @satsuma about number 248 on The List. The album was submitted by buffyleigh.]

    Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson’s father worked on the first IBM 1401 mainframe computer in Iceland in 1964. He discovered a way to produce musical tones by running a program that caused the machine to produce stray electro magnetic waves that could be heard on a radio. He recorded this early form of computer music to a reel to reel tape, where it now comes to life as the start of this haunting album.

    The album blends a string quartet, electronically treated vocals and a dead pan reading of the user manual for the venerable computer and its associated electro mechanical printing unit, that gives instructions for changing the oil and checking the bearings!

    The overall effect is quite moving and evokes memories of a different era of technology, where computers were mysterious machines and running a program was as much an art as a science.

  13. Found a #PhilipGlass remix album that includes a remix of "Protest" from Satyagraha by #JóhannJóhannsson . If there was a god, we'd clearly have a complete remix of Satyagraha from JJ.

  14. Oh geez, went to Bandcamp via browser and my breath immediately caught. Nice #JóhannJóhannsson feature today. For those curious about the brief mention of the #shoegaze band he played in, that would be Daisy Hill Puppy Farm (which is included in the Snarl compilations on our #1001OtherAlbums list).

  15. Somewhere out there, there's sketches, or an unfinished, or perhaps even a finished score by Jóhann Jóhannsson for #bladerunner2049 .

    I basically grew up with #Vangelis, and #HansZimmer's tribute-like soundtrack is spectacular. Even so, I would love to hear how #johannjohannsson went about it.

  16. I jumped the queue for our #1001OtherAlbums list to add the absolutely excellent "Snarl" compilations, 4 mix tapes created from 1987 to 2014 by the infamous Dr. Gunni to promote the fantastic bands in #Iceland (mostly #punk, #postpunk, and rock). All are available as free downloads from Dr. Gunni's blog (links in the item descriptions). Has early #TheSugarcubes, #JóhannJóhannsson's early band, and a bunch more wonderful finds. 🇮🇸

  18. Second metal/non-metal #AOTY pairing: For those who like expansive, meaty albums that make you want to do some research or go to a museum, albums that are an experience in themselves and are best enjoyed when heard in its entirety with a glass of something delicious, check out #JóhannJóhannsson, ACME & Theatre of Voices, #PaulHillier – Drone Mass (#neoclassical) and Gammelsæter & Marhaug – Higgs Boson (#metal adjacent?).

  20. The Last and First Men

    A beautiful and evocative piece of music by the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson. A posthumously released work. Contributors included Yair Elazar Glotman, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Viktor Orri Árnason and the Theatre of Voices.

    The film adds Tilda Swinton narrating edited quotes from the book by Olaf Stapleton. The film was shot by Sturla Grøvlen. Images of some of the large brutalist monuments that were erected in the former Yugoslavia, some of them set in quite spectacular landscapes. There are no humans (or their analogs) in the film, just their remains.
