Description

This is a reissue IBM 1401, A User's Manual is the fourth full length studio album by Icelandic musician Jóhann Jóhannsson, released by 4AD on October 30, 2006.

'On his first 4AD album, the Icelandic composer-- who has built a rewarding catalog based on ideas about technology and music-- takes the ache of nostalgia for obsolete technology and inflates the melodrama to airship proportions.' - Pitchfork

The orchestra was recorded at Barrandov Studios, Smecky Soundstage in Prague in September 2005. Additional recordings were made in Reykjavik, Skálholt, Florence, Madrid, Zurich, Piran and Rennes during the period 2003-2006. Mixed in Syrland, Reykjavik in February 2006. Mastered in Abbey Road.
