- Fordlandia abstract "Fordlandia is the sixth full-length studio album by Icelandic musician Jóhann Jóhannsson. The album was released on 3 November 2008 via 4AD. The album is thematically influenced by the failure of Henry Ford's Brazilian rubber plant Fordlandia. On his official website, Jóhannsson explained the album's relation to the Henry Ford-owned location: One of the two main threads running through it is this idea of failed utopia, as represented by the "Fordlândia" title - the story of the rubber plantation Henry Ford established in the Amazon in 1920s, and his dreams of creating an idealized American town in the middle of the jungle complete with white picket fences, hamburgers and alcohol prohibition. The project – started because of the high price Ford had to pay for the rubber necessary for his cars' tyres – failed, of course, as the indigenous workers soon rioted against the alien conditions. Ford bought two and a half million acres for Fordlandia, costing him $125,000. He had many workers and their families come over to live in Fordlandia, and most ended up complaining about it. Fordlandia failed ultimately because Ford spent too much time and money on creating a beautiful, luxurious town than working on the rubber. Ford shelled out for shingled houses, all kinds of electricity, gardens and even square dances. He also spent time building a 150-foot water tower. While all this was going on, almost no work on the rubber plantation was happening. The plantation eventually failed and Ford's dream of owning a delightful town was crushed. 20 million dollars ended up being wasted on this project. </blockquote>".
