"Donald Rubinstein…His music and art defy categorization-complex scores of moving sound poetry, folk tunes that bop and rock, storytelling with a deep funky soul. He is a man who creates in a hermitage of thought and feelings filled with crystalline structure and form, buried treasures, ancient memories-ultimately an incredible archeology and encyclopedia of musical forms that invite us into his own Emerald City." Ric Lum, Trend Magazine
“Donald Rubinstein and Jono Manson click together like Voltron to form Manstein, and then they release a new album called Life is Orange, and then they play the new album and everyone freaks out all hard!”Santa Fe Reporter
