From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Icebreaker International is an electronic musical duo featuring Alexander Perls from New York and Londoner Simon Break. They first released material in 1999 under the name Icebreaker, including an album on the Aesthetics Record label that was based around the concept of NATO's Distant Early Warning system, before signing to Andrew Lloyd Webber's it Records label in 2000 under the extended band name of Icebreaker International. For this record label they recorded the follow up to "Distant Early Warning" en route between Japan and Canada on the container ship Trein Maersk. This album, "Trein Maersk: A Report to the NATOarts Board of Directors" was commissioned as a piece to promote international free trade.
