Erik pulls off as lovely review @ Boomkat  link
Buy CD here > link
A fine example of modern electronica, He Can Jog's Middlemarch is a boldly diverse set of compositions, tackling dronescapes, digital glitch textures and even vocal electronic pop to a consistently high standard. At He Can Jog's creative epicentre is Erik Schoster, who combines the offline conventions of electronic composition with real-time improvisation via customised MAX patches. This combination of different disciplines results in the raw bitstream ambience of 'Agnes (After Woodland Pattern)' or 'A Small Thing' whilst also bringing forth the melodic, beat-driven sounds of 'Suite Part Three'. There's an adventurously unpolished feel to all this that suggests an abandonment of presets or software clichés, freeing up Schoster to switch things around on wildly divergent consecutive tracks like 'Contractors And Architects', with its borderline Postal Service-isms and 'Suite Parts One And Two', which approaches Keith Fullerton Whitman levels of sublime electroacoustic drone. Highly recommended.

Yeah its a great review and great to be in the same area as postal and Keith (well especially Keith - I love his work so much!)
The challenge is as always spreading the word and getting people to actually listen to Erik's amazing work outside of the mid USA electronic community.
Its great that Boomkat in the UK have picked it up so positively - but the challenge is to get the same from the shops in France, Germany, Japan and Italy - Canada and Austrailia!

I've been listening alot to middlemarch since it came out on iTunes. You have fans in Norway, Mr Schoster. I also like Bryan Teoh's music, especially "Sleep facing west". Does he have a cd out?
