Ice - Disco Frankenstein

From the crypts of Parisian funk obscurity comes the long-lost Halloween holy
grail, Disco Frankenstein from Ice AKA Lafayette Afro Rock Band. A teasing
album of horror-disco oddities originally released as a compilation—a misnomer
cloaked in mystery, as the tracks themselves hail from the group’s playful
experiments in the mid-to-late ’70s.

This album unearths a twisted treasure trove of grooves, originally scattered
across obscure side-projects and international pressings, brought back to life by
Strut on blood-soaked vinyl exclusively for Halloween 2025.

Originally released as a 1976 Japan-only compilation featuring the Lafayette Afro
Rock Band under a plethora of pseudonyms—Sweet Exorcist, Captain Dax, Hot
Blood, Krispie and Co., and more, the release was masterminded by producer
Pierre Jaubert and led by bandleader Frank Abel with the funk-virtuosity of the
Lafayette Afro-Rock Band group, the minds behind the much sampled ‘Soul
Makossa’ and ‘Malik’ albums.
