"A marvellous album. Murmurs, quivers, whispers, excitement. From tango to waltz, from jazz to bossa, the same inspired breath: Viviane Arnoux's accordion. Under her magical fingers, it breathes, stops, sweats, blows up and explodes. In the title song, "Gouttes d'eau" (water drops), it gives the rhythm of water drops crashing, while François Michaud's violin —his superb accomplice— slips in, seeps in to finally overflow. A beautiful treat." (Accordéon Magazine)

"François Michaud (from Quebec) and Viviane Arnoux (from Franche-Comte, in the centre of France) have created this singular band —sometimes a duo, sometimes a trio, a quintet on this CD— that had already drawn attention with their French musette-like remake of the title song of the series Mission Impossible. This album is in the same style, with a taste for unusual situations (whether in the repertoire or the instruments used) constantly rebounding and keeping intact their audience's attention. This is not very common. How many albums do we just hear nowadays, rather than listen to?" Libération
