3'Ain album Sea of Stories, review on Ohrenschmauch - Rezension
"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." To read the full review: click on Ohrenschmauch or view photo.
3'Ain album Sea of Stories 4/5 stars on UKVIBE ★★★★☆
"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."
