Here the latest review on the Psalms Electrified CD, the main Dutch guitar magazine 'Gitarist', writes:“..Alleen al het idee van teksten lezen terwijl je luister geeft Psalms Electrified veel extra’s. Mooi zijn de lange stiltes tussen de verschillende psalmen waardoor je je maximaal kan concentreren op het volgende stuk. .zijn spel is maximaal precies en zuiver, en akelig virtuoos..In deze gecomponeerde stukken is voortdurend avontuur voelbaar en word je als luisteraar steeds weer verrast. Wiek Hijmans speelt verhalen op zijn gitaar.”
