Each Man Makes His Destiny
Strut proudly reintroduces a classic from the Topomic catalogue, Iceâs âEach Man Makes His Destinyâ, officially available on vinyl for the first time.
After relocating from the United States to Paris, Ice began performing regularly in the cityâs BarbĂšs district, a vibrant area with a large North African immigrant community. The bandâs heavy Afro-funk sound caught the attention of producer Pierre Jaubert, leading them to become the resident session musicians at his independent Parisound studio.
Immersed in the local influences, Ice began integrating African-inspired chants, textures, and rhythms into their distinct funk style. In 1973, the group recorded their debut album, âEach Man Makes His Destinyâ, a psychedelic funk exploration that hinted at the evolving sound that would later define them as the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band and, eventually, Ice once more.
Produced by Jaubert, the album brings some powerful social commentary on claustrophobic tracks like âToo Little Roomâ and âSuicideâ, under-pinned by a determination to succeed despite the adversity.
Remastered by The Carvery.
