"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."

"Von jazzigen klängen über orientalische Motive zu Anspielungen auf Tango. Eher langsam, mit grosser Ruhe Beinahe ton für ton umgesetzt. Faszinierend, wie viel mehr sehr wenig sein kann."

"From jazzy sounds to oriental motifs to allusions to tango. Rather slowly, with great tranquility almost implemented tone for tone. Fascinating how much more can be very little."

"There’s an out-of-reach and enigmatic quality to Sea of Stories which keeps you drawing back into its music. A dream-like visual sensibility and the warmth of its harmonies give the music a physicality which virtually lives and breathes."
