Bought this last month. Jóhann Jóhannsson is one of my favorite composers. Another one that I own is Copenhagen Dreams:



A picture that no doubt only makes sense for those living in his homeland of Iceland and us living way north :).

Didn't have this one. Seems like a lovely modern composition and at very attractive price for a high-res track on HDTracks at just $12: http://www.hdtracks.com/nils-frahm-solo

It is in my cart. Word to the wise. The fastest way to go financially broke is to try to keep up with Mr. Linderman's music purchases! :D I did that for a week or so and literally had to stop before draining the bank account :).

Didn't know him, was looking for Olafur Arnalds stuff on amazon and he was one of the other suggestions.
Thankfully I have a full collection of Olafur Arnalds so I am safe from financial ruin on that front. :D I discovered him a few years ago and I don't think he has composed a single track I don't like.

Not exactly similar, but on the same label as Nils Frahm (Erased Tapes), is this one here:

Kiasmos - Kiasmos Full Album (Continuous Mix)

A customer brought his LP to the store to check it out on our big rig, and the bass was off the charts, truly incredible!

See? It happened again. I go searching for the download version on HDTracks and Prostudiomasters and they don't have this album but they do have this: http://www.prostudiomasters.com/album/page/2561



I then look in my email and see a 15% coupon from Prostudiomasters waiting to expire in two days. Bam! Damage is done. The album is in my cart.

Thank heavens they don't have the album he suggested or the damage would double. But as the say, the day is young. I have to see what else Mr. Lindeman put in front of us. No checkout until then. Pray for me please.

First pressing with a cover like yours was by CBS running from 1982-1987.
With a cover like mine was the second pressing by Sony from 2000-?.
Music is the same.
Come to think of it, this was one of the first CDs I ever bought when I got my player in 1982 or so!
