Steinski's 2006 compilation CD "What Does it all Mean?" contained a new track - "Number 3 on Flight 11", a meditation on the 9/11 terrorist attacks - which has been widely praised. In their reviews of "What Does it all Mean", Peter Shapiro ("Wire" magazine, June 2008) called the piece "a graceful (but still chilling) elegy to New York," while Dean Biron ("Popular Music and Society", 2009) referred to it as "one of the most remarkable pieces of music of this or any year ... manages the impossible feat of evoking hope, beauty, sadness and dread all in the one text."
