As far as I can remember from the Belfi concert, in relationship to 'Knots', I think this CD is the culmination of playing that material. Belfi is a drummer, but one with a soft, gentle touch. He doesn't have the harsh banging methods of say Jon Mueller, but his work is more about silence. He carefully hits a bit, even a rhythm or two (be reminded that this is hardly the work of improvisation), to which he adds a small, delicate blend of electronics (hammond organ perhaps, humming, static crackles). Perhaps it is ambient, but not of the well-known kind. Belfi actually does something that crosses the paths of ambient, post rock and electronica (and perhaps even a bit of ethnic music, I should add), and has crafted a really beautiful piece of work. Belfi bends the genre a bit further. (FdW)
