"Anderson's pan-global tribal rhythms shift and shimmy like an erotic dancer lost in Africa."
C. D. Review

"The real departure comes with the expanded use of polyrhythms and the new ferocity of Anderson's drumming."
Downbeat

"....... the percussion that moves it along is as sensitive and breathy as it is rambunctious."
Modern Drummer

"Anderson's vast array of percussion drives relentlessly....."

"Time Fish allows Anderson to fully explore both the melodic and rhythmic scope of the percussion instruments he has mastered, notably the single stringed berimbau (of African origin, though most commonly associated with Brazilian music) and the steel drum."
Minneapolis City Pages

"Anderson is a rare bird among percussionists. He combines the mastery of authentic playing techniques with a high degree of musical sensitivity. He doesn't simply pound out rhythmic patterns. Instead he listens and reacts to the musical environment around him."
Minneapolis Skyway News

".... Anderson's repertoire includes every imaginable type of percussion instrument, and he makes good use of them. While the rhythmic scheme, which is executed precisely, changes only minimally, the percussionist skillfully employs his various tone colors. Merely by turning his body he switches from Katmandu to Kingston........."
Frankfurter Rundschau

" And what a wonderful percussionist there was, playing the tabla, the small Indian drum that reminds us of the force of water! Moving from congas to traditional trap set, to gong to triangle..even to vase.. the percussionist created a foundation for the music........"
Le Droit Ottawa - Hull

"Anderson's playing was very impressive.... Overall, his playing was terrific, placing him among the finest percussionists I've heard in a long while. And that's saying something, since the brilliant Airto was here recently."
St. Paul Pioneer Press
