"Een nieuwe “message in a bottle” die vanuit Oostende de wijde wereld ingestuurd wordt." - "Een overwegend melancholische soundtrack met indrukwekkende filmische accenten. Alsof ze de desolaatheid van het bestaan verklanken in een roes van dromerige visioenen."

"A new "message in a bottle" sent out into the wide world from Ostend," says the artist."

"A mostly melancholic soundtrack with impressive cinematic accents. As if sounding out the desolation of existence in an intoxication of dreamy visions."

"Yamen blendt westerse en oosterse klanken met zijn trompet, net zoals Otto op zijn zelf ineen geknutselde contrabas voor de nodige diepgang zorgt. Maris zorgt dan met zijn accordeon voor een zigeunereske sfeer. Knap!"

"Yamen blends western and eastern sounds with his trumpet, just as Otto provides the necessary depth on his self-assembled double bass. Maris then creates a gipsy-esque atmosphere with his accordion."

"Het album bevat 7 nummers waarin het solospel van de trompet vaak centraal staat, dat regelmatig wordt vastgeklonken aan de accordeon."

"The album contains 7 songs that often focus on the solo playing of the trumpet, which is frequently riveted to the accordion."

Björn Comhaire about the album Sea of Stories by 3'Ain at Luminous Dash:

"The album contains seven tracks that often center on the solo playing of the trumpet, which is frequently riveted to the accordion. The melodic double bass lines are the glue that holds the two together and puts a soothing salve over (or under) the reed and wind instrument."
