Vol beroemde welluidende licht-klassieke miniatuurtjes als "The Typewriter", "The syncopated clock" en "Sleigh ride". "Anyone who lived through the 1950s will have a sort of involuntary memory spasm while listening to a lot of these pieces. You could not escape from Andersons music then in cinemas on the wireless even in public spaces although having music played in shops came later. Ones memory also calls up the words that were set to many of the tunes for pop songs "Forgotten dreams" and "Sleigh ride" especially. It is Andersons talent to make the music sound familiar: there are echos and references to dozens of other pieces. The Waltzing Cat Blue Tango and The Typewriter sum up an aspect of the 50s that is as significant as the early rock and electronic music of the era. These recordings by Richard Hayman and his orchestra date from 1989. The sound is good the performances affectionate and enthusiastic. A trip down memory lane for 50s kids." (Gramophone)
