'The opening piece on the disc is one of Anderson's most single-minded, yet strongest pieces. Entitled "Quilt Music", it is an extended minimalist-influenced piece for solo piano, inspired by the great American tradition of quilting. Indeed the work has a wonderfully "homespun" gentle energy to it. The booklet notes quote Anderson as saying that, as in a "crazy quilt", one never knows what is coming next. Although it is nearly 25 minutes long, it pleases for its entire duration.'
