Bluesy, melodic, sweet, David Gilmour-esque bends and pleasantly burnished overdrive tone. Knudsen plays with tasteful restraint, concentrating on melody instead of flash." ....-Guitar Player Magazine, January 1996 ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ..................................."Knudsen’s plaintive phrasing, sparse melodies, and haunting volume swells keep the emotions bottled up until you’re practically begging for a crescendo, but that’s the genius of this cinematically brilliant track." ....-Michael Molenda, editor-in-chief, Guitar Player Magazine, august 2007
