"...Indringende kwarttonen op trompet, hypnotiserende grooves, dromerig samenspel en filmische improvisaties creëren muziek die laveert tussen intimiteit en intensiteit, spiritualiteit en spanning. Geworteld in traditie maar grenzeloos van geest, ontvouwt ‘Unland’ zich als een reflectief klankenlandschap waarin licht en duisternis een evenwicht zoeken."
"...Penetrating quarter-tones on the trumpet, hypnotic grooves, dreamlike ensemble playing and cinematic improvisations create music that navigates between intimacy and intensity, spirituality and tension. Rooted in tradition yet boundless in spirit, ‘Unland’ unfolds as a reflective soundscape in which light and darkness seek a balance."

"...Oufti volgt mooi het pad dat 3’Ain op hun eerste album reeds uittekende. Het is een pad dat westerse jazz en muziek uit de Swana-regio (Zuid-West-Azië en Noord-Afrika) samenbrengt. Gooi daar nog een Sufi-geïnspireerd ritme bovenop en je krijgt een interessant mix die je, bij ons althans, nog niet zo vaak hoorde. Boeiend."
"...Oufti beautifully follows the path that 3’Ain laid out on their debut album. It’s a path that brings together Western jazz and music from the Swana region (Southwest Asia and North Africa). Add a Sufi-inspired rhythm to that, and you get an interesting mix that—at least here—you haven’t heard very often. Fascinating."
Thank you Björn Comhaire and Luminous Dash for the warm review on the first single Oufti of our new Album!

"...De combinatie van een jazz-feel met Arabische klankkleuren maakt ‘Oufti’ geknipt voor playlists in world-jazz, meditatieve jazz, global fusion en instrumentale storytelling. De titel verwijst naar een Belgische uitdrukking uit de streek van Luik die verbazing, opluchting of verbijstering kan uitdrukken - een woord met een sterke emotionele lading, net als de compositie zelf..."
"...The combination of a jazz feel with Arabic timbres makes ‘Oufti’ ideal for playlists in world jazz, meditative jazz, global fusion and instrumental storytelling. The title refers to a Belgian expression from the Liège region that can convey surprise, relief or bewilderment – a word with a strong emotional charge, just like the composition itself..."

RnR Magazine calls Vertigo a “real powerhouse album,” filled with “beautiful, joyful, committed creativity the planet needs more of these days.”
Featuring a “potent and intoxicating cocktail of punkish energy and cool musicianship,” Vertigo showcases our love for ska, jazz, and multilingual storytelling through songs like ‘Vertigo,’ ‘Sans-Papiers,’ and ‘Changement De Plan.’
