From an online review of American Slapstick, Volume 2:

"Musical accompaniment is great, provided by such contemporary masters as Ben Model, Blaine Gale, Andrew Earle Simpson, Eddie Uslan, Jay Warren, and David Drazen.  Inappropriate scores can ruin a silent movie, and these composer/musicians actually enhance each entry in this collection.  A couple of the films do have generic silent movie music, the type which was found on most 16mm silent comedies featuring musical accompaniment, but the majority of the films here have scores composed by the accompanist."

Capstone Records, CPS-8767 (2006)

• Four Views of Pompeii (string quartet and harp)
• Applets (double bass and piano)
• Cloisters (guitar solo)
• Flower-Terrible Memories (piano solo)

American Record Guide (January/February 2007) writes of Flower-Terrible Memories:

• "…crashing splendidly at both ends of the register, dissipating into fragile fallout in the middle and collapsing onto rumbling low notes inside the piano and out by the end.  And that was only the first movement."
• "The pianist, Brian Ganz, was thrilling."

Of the disc as a whole: 

• "…each piece was very well conceived specifically for the instrument(s)."

Exhortations: Virtuoso Solo Instrumental and Chamber Music of Andrew Earle Simpson

Athena Records, Athena 106 (1998)

• Chamber Concerto (fl, cl, vn, vc, pno, perc)
• Summer-Night Songs (soprano saxophone, hp)
• Exhortation I (alto saxophone solo) 
• Exhortation II (oboe solo)
• Exhortation III (double bass solo)

American Record Guide (November/December 1999) writes of the disc as a whole:

• "It is very well done, and the composer gets fine performances from his players.  This would be a fine addition to the collection of any college music library--students looking for new and unusual pieces to play should have access to it."

The Double Bassist (Spring 1999) writes of Exhortation III:

• "But Exhortation III for double bass is the most extended solo piece.  Of striking technical demand, it finds a true champion in its dedicatee, Michael Cameron, professor of bass at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  It exploits to the full the technical and expressive potential of the instrument.  Cameron demonstrates awesome mastery of its substantial left- and right-hand challenges, not least its unusual harmonics and fiendish bravura passage-work."

Arizona University Recordings, AUR CD 3068 (1998): compilation

• Exhortation I (alto saxophone solo)

The Double Bassist (Spring 1999) writes of Exhortation I (as recorded on the Exhortations disc, above; the recording was re-released on this Adolphe Sax series disc):

• "…contrasting angular, bravura material with lyrical melody--is immaculately played by alto saxophonist Robert Faub."
