The double album Englaborn & Variation by Johann Johannson is a reissue of his debut album Englaborn from 2002 in remixed sound together with a collection of completely new "reworkings". It is a touching posthumous testimony to his haunting musical language and expressiveness. On the double album, Johannsson himself has explored his first solo album from 2002 and added new variations to it. It contains a piano version of the title track played by DG colleague Vikingur Olafsson and poignant choral pieces with the Theatre of Voices ensemble. But other internationally renowned musicians whom Johannsson admired have also added their interpretations: Among them Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, ambient duo A Winged Victory for a Sullen, composer and producer Paul Corley. Excluded from sitewide sales/discounts. Limited to 4 per customer.
