At the risk of descending into histrionic podium gush , LMYE is thrilled to host an exclusive new mix by one of our Artists of 2009 , LJ Kruzer . Since we're doubly honoured to also carry the man's own words about LJ Kruzer versus archive.org , we'll interpose only long enough to commend this strikingly deft & subtle piece - the [...]
As I mentioned shortly after it's release, LJ Kruzer's Manhood & Electronics is a truly delightful slice of ambient electronics perfectly suited to a spot of horizontal listening. However, as I'm sure you've gathered by now, I also have rather a penchant for doing the techno shuffle so was excited to learn that select cuts from the LP were being given the remix treatment with the express intention being to give them a little dancefloor oomph. The Manhood & Electronics EP comprises two remixes each of both Poil and Tam with all of the [...]
What with it being Christmas Eve & all, blog posts aren't really that high on my current list of priorities but I've got just about enough time to squeeze this one in. It comes with a festive theme and as I'm sure you're all starting to tire of the same old Christmas classics I thought I'd share a quirky synth-based version of an old favourite that we were sent. LJ Kruzer - We Three Kings If this whets your appetite for more, LJ's Christmas carols EP (long since sold out [...]

Photograph by Chris Ziebarth Merry Christmas! Here's our last installation of holiday cheer for the year. First up, a faithful rendition of The Three Wise Men's (aka XTC) "Thanks for Christmas" by Ireland's Pugwash. Led by Thomas Walsh, his band has a revolving cast of characters (Andy Partridge and Dave Gregory (XTC), Michael Penn, and Jason Faulkner. Watch for their U.S. debut next year. Next up, a song to remind everyone to keep their cool during the holidays by The Crookes. Cheerful on the surface with the ringing guitars and tambourines, but blue on the inside, relating the [...]
LJ Kruzer is Stephen Fiske uit Londen. Begonnen met door beats aangedreven muziek laat hij op zijn laatst verschenen album Manhood & Electronics de beats voor wat ze zijn en focust zich op gedempte pianoklanken en traag euforische ambient. Hier en daar is er nog wel ritmische ondersteuning maar de nadruk ligt op minimalistische piano en langgerekte geluidslagen. Hier de video voor de track 'Tam': Acht verschillende versies van 'Tam' zijn ook gratis te downloaden . En luister het hele album Manhood & Electronics : [...]
As the summer draws to a close, the relaxing sounds that have been keeping me company in the garden on many a warm evening are sure to feature in the soundtrack of my autumn whilst looking onto the outside from the comfort of my sofa. Top of the pile for laid-back listening is LJ Kruzer 's excellent Manhood & Electronics LP on Uncharted Audio . Equal parts synthesised ambiance and lazy piano melodies, this LP has fitted the bill perfectly on several occasions when the repetitive 4/4 thump that typically soundtracks my life doesn't quite suit [...]
A very nice ambient electronic work. Hear it in full here , where there's a lengthy description and a handful of other content including an artistic music video for the song "Tam", much like the "White Ink" video for Deerhunter I posted a while back. LJ Kruzer's new album is now available in all good retail outlets, both physical cd and digital formats, or buy it direct from us and get both together. Those nice folk over at the wire magazine have two exclusive reworkings of a couple of album tracks [...]
NB: scroll down for exclusive mix... Ever since the bravura display of May's eight Tam Variations , there could be little doubt that LJ Kruzer 's Manhood & Electronics ( Uncharted Audio ) would be one of this year's landmark albums, notwithstanding its indifferent title - a lift from a memoir by Bryan Strange, apparently. But it's only on full immersion that the gentle, timeless brilliance of this ravishing post-modern hymnal unfolds completely (sorry if the physics of [...]
Pour les "Ambient lovers" on avait déjà mentionné l'anglais LJ Kruzer via le EP 'Tam Variations' , que celui-ci avait mis gratuitement à la disposition des internautes; et bien l'album 'Manhood & Electronics' d'où est extrait Tam est disponible et se télécharge contre la somme de ce-que-vous-voulez-payer. Cela faisait un bon moment que l'on avait pas écouté de l'ambient music de cette qualité : l'atmosphère est à la fois enivrante et glaciale, et à certains moments elle est éclaircie par un beat suspendu ou un piano délicat, le tout est à ranger [...]

Pour tous les amoureux d'Ambient vous pouvez télécharger gratuitement (ou payer ce que vous voulez pour une meilleure qualité) les 'Tam Variations' de LJ Kruzer aka Stephen Fiske, pianiste et producteur electro ambient londonien. Celui-ci propose huit variations sur un même titre qui figurera sur son deuxième album 'Manhood & Electronics' qui sort le 29 Juin, et dont la démarche nous est expliquée ci-dessous : "Each variation is the end result of methodical sequences of sound processing exploring all the possibilities of computer manipulation of digitised sound data - stretching, squashing, restretching [...]
