Jóhann Jóhannsson / Maya Angelou	Fordlândia / When I Think About Myself   → "Fordlândia / When I Think About Myself" by "Jóhan...	Fordlândia	4AD	2008		performed by The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus / 6th full-length album from the Icelandic artist / The album is thematically influenced by the failure of Henry Ford's Brazilian rubber plant, Fordlândia. 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 2 1/2 million acres for Fordlandia, costing him $125,000, and had many Brazilian workers & their families come to live in Fordlandia (most ended up complaining about it). Too much time and money were spent on recreating a beautiful, American town than working out how to successfully grow rubber in the Amazon, including building a 150-foot water tower (despite being in the middle of a rainforest). Fordlandia ultimately failed and Ford's dream was crushed without ever producing any rubber for his tyres. Around $20 million was spent on the project.			0:30:11 (Pop-up)

Hostile Architecture	Black Horizons	2020		debut tape from Philadelphia-based viola and bouzouki duo Myles Donovan & Eric Bandel / “Hostile architecture” is defined as a design trend through which public spaces are altered to inhibit certain inappropriate uses.
