Age of Energy is an album by the Chicago Underground Duo, featuring multi-instrumentalists Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor.

"[1] The Free Jazz Collective's Paul Acquaro stated: "The album is aptly titled, the duo captures the bits, bytes, fumes and fusions of our age with an expert blend of electronic sounds and acoustic instruments.

To these ears it sounds like two men equipped with a variety of instruments and electronics jamming these 'songs' into creation, taking their sweet time doing so and not spending a split second worrying about what label people may or may not want to slap on it.

"[5] Writing for Tiny Mix Tapes, Clifford Allen remarked: "While not their strongest statement to date, Age of Energy is still a viable piece of the puzzle, and following the work of Mazurek and Taylor remains a near-requirement for those invested in modern creative music.

noted that the album "continues their long tradition of exploration, explosions and meditation," and wrote: "Creating in the moment like their AACM brethren but with the lo-fi electronic effects of an indie act and other creative mashings, the Chicago Underground Duo continue to make the case for all the original sounding music that is possible by just two, open minded and innovative musicians.
