Low on Ice (The Iceland Sessions)


Low on Ice is the second solo studio album by German electronic artist Alec Empire, the third of five of his to be released on the Mille Plateaux label. Issued in 1995, Empire recorded the album over three days in August that same year during a tour of Iceland with his band Atari Teenage Riot. Primarily written outdoors in tents and recorded onto analog tapes, the record is noted for its ambient overtone, something not commonly associated with Empire's music.
Though plans were announced of a triple-CD reissue containing unreleased archive material, this deluxe reissue has yet to be released. "22:24", "Low on Ice", "metall Dub" and both untitled tracks would later be included on the compilation album The Geist of Alec Empire.
