"Plaistow bewijst met Live At Bimhuis wederom een zeer opmerkelijk en baanbrekend trio te zijn dat de jazz weer eens flink wakker schudt. Dwars, dissonant tegelijk rijk aan kleur en emotie vinden de composities van Plaistow moeiteloos hun plek in je hart."

"With Live at Bimhuis, Plaistow proves once again to be a most remarkable and groundbreaking trio, one that gives jazz a good shake awake. Contrary and dissonant yet rich in colour and emotion, Plaistow's compositions find their way effortlessly into your heart."

Dick Hovenga Written in Music, 2017 writteninmusic.com Live at Bimhuis

« Le résultat est sans appel : Live At Bimhuis est le carnet de bord de quatre longues plongées […] et de l'avancée, implacable et sûre de son fait, d'un Plaistow qui, plus que jamais, définissait les contours d'une musique singulière et farouche. »

"The result is beyond dispute: Live at Bimhuis is the logbook of four long dives […] and of the advance — implacable and sure of itself — of a Plaistow that, more than ever, was defining the contours of a singular, fierce music."

Denis Desassis Citizen Jazz, 2017 citizenjazz.com Live at Bimhuis

"With their wholesale embrace of rhythms and textures sourced from techno, dance music and electronica, Plaistow have created an increasingly unique and personalised sound world that is very much theirs alone. […] In many ways Titan represents the apex of what Plaistow have been moving towards since 2007."

« Exigeant, immersif, ce disque est un voyage spatial qui ne laisse pas indemne, une mission Cassini à la fois flippante et trippante comme seul sait en organiser le trio suisse. »

"Demanding, immersive, this record is a space voyage that leaves no one unscathed — a Cassini mission at once scary and trippy, of a kind only this Swiss trio knows how to mount."

« Le trio genevois minimaliste a enregistré Titan les yeux rivés sur les satellites de Saturne. Stupéfiant. […] Granitique, d'une pureté minérale, ce fascinant disque-concept puise son inspiration au-dessus de nos têtes dans le cosmos. […] Chaque morceau tourne comme un satellite autour d'une idée forte, qu'elle soit rythmique ou mélodique. »

"The minimalist Geneva trio recorded Titan with its eyes fixed on the moons of Saturn. Stupendous. […] Granite-hard, of a mineral purity, this fascinating concept album draws its inspiration from above our heads, in the cosmos. […] Each piece orbits like a satellite around a strong idea, be it rhythmic or melodic."

Roderic Mounir Le Courrier, 2015 lecourrier.ch Titan

"Op de toppen van hun kunnen hebben ze met hun nieuwe album Titan dat werk overtroffen. […] Titan is het meesterstuk van Plaistow."

"At the peak of their powers, with their new album Titan they have surpassed all that earlier work. […] Titan is Plaistow's masterpiece."

« Voilà en effet un trio helvète qui, disque après disque, s'attache à inventer son propre monde. […] Une musique au pouvoir hypnotique avéré, sculptée au fil du temps et de plus de deux cents concerts. »

"Here, indeed, is a Swiss trio that, record after record, devotes itself to inventing its own world. […] Music of proven hypnotic power, sculpted over time and across more than two hundred concerts."

"They make you think about sound and about time. They can sweep you away with a burst of lyricism or pin you to the spot."

Richard Williams The Blue Moment, 2014 thebluemoment.com Citadelle (live, London Jazz Festival)

"Plaistow setzen sich mit schlichtestem musikalischen Material auseinander. «Orion» etwa spielt fast nur mit Oktaven – und entfaltet doch eine erstaunliche Wucht. […] Die Rhythmik ist fein gehäkelt und intelligent gebaut."

"Plaistow work with the most pared-down musical material. 'Orion,' for instance, plays almost entirely with octaves — and yet unfolds an astonishing force. […] The rhythm is finely crocheted and intelligently built."

Christoph Merki Tages-Anzeiger, 2013 tagesanzeiger.ch Citadelle

« Le secret de Plaistow, c'est peut-être de bâtir un son comme on élève une cathédrale. »

"Plaistow's secret may be to build a sound the way one builds a cathedral."

David Koperhant TSF Jazz, 2013 tsfjazz.com Citadelle

"Bourquenez in particular fills out the cold precision of standard minimalist techniques through striking rich and warm chordal shapes that evolve and shift in line with very human, intuitive rules. […] It's supremely accurate music, the tautness of every note and the simplicity of the clean, direct approach is just a delight."

Ed Pinsent The Sound Projector, 2012 thesoundprojector.com Lacrimosa

"Plaistow always sounds like a group that existed before the instruments were chosen."
