"Met titels als “Schuimkop” en “Scrambled Ensor” zit Oostende helemaal in de plaat ingebakken en met wat goede wil kun je ook “Lacht” vertalen als het geluid van een voorbijscherende meeuw. “Tango Soleil du Nord” is dan weer op en top Brussels en bij “Mayaaze”, vermoedt de VlaamsBrabander een vertaling van “maar ja, hoor”. Niemand zegt hier “hoor”, maar wel “zenne” of “zè”, maar verder kan ik hiermee compleet de mist ingaan. Dat is dan weer allerminst het geval met deze plaat, die nu eens dromerig en weemoedig klinkt, dan weel uitbundig en zelfs bijna feestelijk. In elk geval: hier wordt alweer en een beetje ten overvloede- bewezen dat we hier te maken hebben met absolute topmuzikanten. Nog één woordje: het artwork van Sarah Baur is bijzonder fraai. maar dat is het altijd…."

“With titles like "Schuimkop" and "Scrambled Ensor", Ostend is completely ingrained in the record and, with some good will, you can also translate "Lacht" as the sound of a seagull skimming by. "Tango Soleil du Nord", in turn, is thoroughly Brussels and with "Mayaaze", the Flemish-Brabander suspects a translation of "“maar ja, hoor" (a Dutch expression of validation). Nobody says "hoor" here, but they do say "zenne" or "zè", but I could go completely off the mark with this. That is not at all the case with this record, which sometimes sounds dreamy and melancholic, sometimes exuberant and even almost festive. In any case: it is proven once again and to excess that we are dealing here with absolute top musicians. One more word: the artwork by Sarah Baur is particularly beautiful. but it always is....”

"Ihre überwiegend nachdenkliche Kammermusik bewegt sich zwischen sensibler Melancholie und Melodieseligkeit, grift Walzer und Tango auf und gefällt in ihrer Unbestimmtheit zwischen folkloristischer Anmutung und der Offenheit des Jazz"

"Their predominantly thoughtful chamber music moves between sensitive melancholy and blissful melody, takes up waltz and tango and pleases with its being indetermined, between folkloristic impression and the openness of jazz"

"Het valt niet mee om deze bijzondere muziek ergens in te delen. 3’Ain bewandelt hetzelfde schemergebied als het onvolprezen Amerikaanse Tin Hat (Trio), met allerlei raakvlakken zoals klassiek, musette, jazz en een (in dit geval) heel klein pietsie folk, maar toch vooral heel eigenzinnig. "

"It's not easy to classify this special music anywhere. 3'Ain walks in the same twilight zone as the famous American Tin Hat (Trio), with all sorts of interfaces such as classical, musette, jazz and a (in this case) very small piece of folk, but above all very idiosyncratic."
