"The Condition of Music may not be the easiest to describe album I've ever had to review and it may have been the most confusing to figure out (because I didn't appreciate the subversive humor that Shane is putting forth). Once I did crawl inside this outrageous and fun-filled (and also well-engineered and produced) album, I didn't want to leave. CDs like this one remind me that electronic music can be as much fun as any other genre, if not more so. Highly recommended to those who need a smile put back on their face."
--Wind and Wire review of The Condition of Music

"Very odd, very disturbing, and never repetitious or jaded. This is definitely boundary dissolving electronic music, sometimes cinematic in scope, and at other times wildly eclectic in its persistent attempt to evade the characteristic monotony that often plagues even the best artists who consistently work in this genre. If you’re looking for something left of center, The Condition of Music certainly won’t disappoint the Dadaist in you."
--Aural Innovations review of The Condition of Music

"If you want something a little different yet remaining tuneful, here is a great album for you."
