For the album version, Jóhann rewrote the entire score, and it was recorded by a sixty-piece string orchestra. He also added a new final section and incorporated electronics alongside those original tape recordings of the singing computer.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"2LP \"Clear\" Colored Edition","offer_id":45570214068268,"sku":"DAD 2609","price":325.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/0461\/9308\/files\/img36847_j_C3_B3hann-j_C3_B3hannsson-ibm-1401-a-user-s-manual.jpg?v=1779687269","url":"https:\/\/whitenoiserecords.org\/products\/johann-johannsson-ibm-1401-a-users-manual","provider":"WHITE NOISE RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
