"Andersen takes the art of bass playing into rarefied regions as a matter of course, and in his hands the classic anchor of the band is a solo instrument of remarkable flexibility. His use of electronic effects – including real-time sampling of his own playing, which was then employed in a layering effect – added even more depth to his expressive palette."
