I will be working on my presskit and upload it as soon as it's ready! For the moment you can read some reactions from fans and listeners...

Manual (Jonas Munk, producer):
"Hello, really like the Slowdive remix! How did you remix it without original tracks? I like your style - and I am not really that big a fan of electronic music...."

Ulrich Schnauss (producer):
"Hi jasper, thanks for the links to your songs: really enjoyed listening to them! "watch me" is actually one of my favourite slowdive songs - what a nice surprise..."

Mike Milosh (producer):
"your stuff is really nice! You should be on morr music..."

Walkman (from netlabel Sutemos):
"Hi there, I have given it a listen and it sounds really quality. At the moment I am working on a new compilation. Generally it will be mellow and melodic music which is close to Boards Of Canada stuff by its nature. I guess your sound will suite it perfectly."

Pete Leuenberger (head of netlabel Maetrixsolution):
"thx for your demo. just listend to the 6 tracks and they are all very deep and relaxing. really nice material! We really like to do a whole album with u..."

Kimgerly (music journalist, The TongueBath Tub):
"I'm not often inspired to issue ink for artists' press kits these days, because of the pervasive contrived laziness. In a one-liner: What we have here is a glistening permutation of cerebral mood chili of the platinum persuasion that crosses electronica genre boundaries effortlessly!"

John Mobbs (music critic, Top 10 2006 Albums):
"Jap Jap has been my greatest Last FM discovery since joining last year. I discovered this guys great music during a random search for music similar to the brilliant Ulrich Schnauss. It’s clear that Jasper has been influenced by Ulrich, amongst other similar artists, but his music is always very rich and less processed than Ulrich’s sound. More pure sounding perhaps. Blue Shimmery Fall is a beautiful sounding album, and if Jap Jap’s new material is anything to go by, there’s a lot more great music to come!"

Jonas (music critic, Top 10 2006 Albums):
"Jap Jap is one another quality artist from the Netherlands. If you like Ulrich Schnauss, Kettel, Boards of Canada, I'm sure you'll like Jap Jap's Blue Shimmery Fall. Get it while it's hot!"

Alex Hudish (producer):
"your music is simply awesome! (very close to my heart and sound). I'd love to collaborate with you."

Mark 5 (producer):
"Really enjoying your music! Just wanted to pass along my compliments!"

Dropzone Productions (producer):
"i really was never into electronic music much but when i heard "wish for immposible" track you did....man that touched me....you are on the right track! ....it would be a pleasure to work with you."

Alexx (from Nearfield, producer):
“Your music is perfect... I keep loopin' it and promisse to believe in you on Sellaband shortly.”

A Shoreline Dream bassist (shoegaze band):
"your remix is incredible..I'm so proud of working with people of your level...I'm absolutely honored that you took the time to work on our track...thanks a lot...the mix is out of this world.....can't thank u enough!!!!!!!!"

Jasmic (last.fm user):
"I have just listened to the version of Blue Shimmery Fall that you have made available to the last.fm Radio and wanted to say how superb I think it is. I have found a lot of new music on this website and I am so glad that I followed a link on my recommended reading to your work. I just want to say that I think you have absolutely nothing to worry about, your voice is soft, quite distinctive and perfect the way you used it."

player00 (last.fm user):
"...he's an excellent and very rare find. He's definitely worthy of being mentioned with artists like Royksopp."

Nagel (from netlabel Maetrixsolution):
"one of the finest chillout releases i ever heard! this one gives the whole varity of sounds, vocals, electronics and acoustic sounds in one release - there is no track which does not have a potential to let you calm and listen to the whole album in one ride!!! respect jasper!"

Electrocelt (music critic for archive.org):
"in writing reviews, i have given many excellent releases a 'five-star' rating but every now and then a collection comes a long that makes me wish there was an even highter rating. 'blue shimmery fall' deserves a special gold star. a masterpiece from beginning to end, it jap jap takes you on a colourful, nostalgic journey and the sound will reverberate through your head for hours after you've finished listening. it says in the info that jap jap is not satisfied with his vocals but in my opinion they are quite striking (in a good way) and are the perfect accent to the dreamy idm stylings of this beautiful album. top recommendation!!"

Thierry Massard (music critic for archive.org):
"Maetrixsolution have signed an excellent release from the non-less excellent jasper boer (author of :: shapes are EP on late '05). Part of his own story, delicate ambient atmospheres alternates with an hybrid electronica. Not so far from some works of Milieu, these :: Blue Shimmery Fall are opening a great year for this netlabel."

Cristian (a Slowdive fan) about the Slowdive remix "Watch Me":
"Nice work man!! it has a very good sound and as somebody said it seems more a cover than a remix because you did almost all the job! it's nice to hear this version because it's very truthful to the original, so it feels like hearing the instrumental version remastered.. Keep it up!"
