"Very nice, all the way through!This, like just a few of my albums, qualifies as real art. If you like techno, want something polished, but ambient is a little dull, this is excellent. See if you can count how many musical, cultural, and media references are in here.Every piece different, everything worth listening to many times...a real composer, with nice melodies/hooks."
Brilliant, original, heartfelt contemporary music.

"Jan has one of the best recordings out with Vespers. It is rich, contemporary and full of emotion. Each composition has a distinctive edge that sets her music apart from the vast ocean of contemporary music that is out there. Combined with a depth and passion, it is quite possibly the most interesting work in recent years. It is hard to hear this work and not have a warm affinity for Jan. Brilliant!!!!"
