Northern Picture Library - Alaska + Love Song for the Dead Che

Northern Picture Library were formed by Bobby Wratten, Annemari Davies and Mark Dobson after The Field Mice split in 1991.

Less song-based and more dark and ambient than before, NPL drew influence from Talk Talk and Brian Eno, as well as the ambient/dance crossover. Melody maker described Alaska as "one of the debut albums of 1993", and its creators as "state of the art, post-ambient electropoppers who write some of the most beautiful songs in existence."

This remastered CD and download is completed by all three tracks from Love Song for the Dead Che, a companion EP recorded at the same sessions. Dead Che is a cover of the song originally recorded by the United States of America.
