Now I Understand (2006)
Club d'Elf's debut studio recording, Now I Understand took over 8 years in the making! This stunning audio kaleidoscope takes the listener through a strange and wondrous (and sometimes dark & scary!) journey through the many musical styles that Club d'Elf have ingested and digested, including jazz, hip-hop, electronica, rock, world trance, etc. Produced and arranged by bassist Mike Rivard (with mixes by Scotty Hard amongst others), it features the contributions of 25 musicians, including John Medeski, Billy Martin, DJ Logic, Brahim
Fribgane, Mister Rourke, Mat Maneri, Reeves Gabrels, Dave Tronzo, Duke Levine, Alain Mallet, Gerry Leonard, and many more, as well as an entrancing vocal turn on 60's chestnut "A Toy For a Boy" by Jenifer Jackson. “A suite with many colors and moods, grooves, and melodies
changing at a moments notice… Something about the idea of so many minds and hearts involved here makes this one a winner…If techno has come full-circle, enveloping [its] creator even as it points to another world, this party of relative soloists and collaborators keeps
me guessing and wanting to guess.” – John Ephland, Relix
