"Jon Lukens is one of the most artistic and creative persons I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is not a musician in a traditional sense – he is an artist making music. Ever since 1997, I have watched him develop his craft and get more and more effective at realizing his intended expression, with every album becoming better than the last. Sometimes I have been able to help him with some live drums, or as a person to bounce ideas off, but he really is a singular visionary of our era. I always look forward to hearing his new songs and the sounds he is able to create through those gadgets of his, and hearing about his ideas and approaches to songwriting. I think my favorite Retconned show was the Retconned Cover Band show I helped him with back in January 2008. Josh Fauver was able to take several Retconned songs and transcribe them to guitar, which we played in a live guitar/bass/drums setting with Jon as the lead vocalist and his brother Benjamin on bass. It showed how unique and interesting his music really is when you present it in such a stripped down, classic format. Jon and his music are truly originals." - James Joyce (formerly of the Hal al Shedad, Ultivac, etc.)
