A 8 track leftfield/idm album (43m 30s) — released June 29th 2009 on Uncharted Audio

Uncharted Audio presents the long-awaited debut album from London's own Steve Fiske aka LJ Kruzer. In the last couple of years the Kruzer has carved out a peculiar niche for himself with a number of singles for Uncharted Audio, an appearance on a now highly sought-after LP on Ai Records and live performances across Europe. LJ's dad, a vicar, used a home keyboard to accompany the hymn-singing in church and it was this same keyboard that LJ used to begin writing his own brand of melancholy ambience many years ago. But this album seems to reflect more of that background than just the warm lo-fi melodies maybe when the NME wrote of his debut single that he 'brings the gentle epiphany' they didn't realise how accurate they were. Last summer Kruzer smashed up the clubs with "Miami Nooch", which lead Fil OK of Nag Nag Nag fame to pronounce it 'My summer anthem'. But this year he's back with a different kind of soundtrack to your summer, one for kicking back in the shade from the sunshine and reflecting. Occasionally unsettling, often beautiful, but always engaging, this is a bona fide masterpiece from a unique voice in British electronic music.
