4.0 out of 5 stars Smashing Stuff, 29 Nov 2005
By Steps "steps_lowe" (Luxembourg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Ninja Tune house's some of the most beautiful, beguilng and interesting acts around and Blockhead's follow up to 2004's 'Music by Cavelight' is another down tempo gem. Featuring lovely plucked harps and string arrangements over cascading beats and samples of old show tunes, Tony Simon further fills the void that DJ Shadow left some time back now.

Often described as instrumental hip-hop, sometimes even as cubist, Blockhead's world is one of fragile yet complex beauty. Opening track 'Expiration Date' is a perfect innvocation of Simon's odly moving style.

'Cherry Picker' and 'Art of Walking' whilst not a radical departure form tracks on the previous album, do lodge in your brain, at once feeling refreshingly familiar.

Theres an organic warmth to this album, something missing from most electronic music. Downtown Science probably won't receive the widespread recogntion it deserves, but you get the impression that this will not bother its creator too much. Turn the lights down, stick on a pair of headphones and bask in the glow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bonus., 4 Feb 2009
By A. Kyle (PortGlasgow, Inverclyde United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although in a similar vein musically to Music by Cavelight this album just doesn't seem to grab you the same. This is possibly due to the inventiveness, care and attention that went into the first album making this seem not as special.

On the up side however, getting this version of the album with the bonus DVD is an excellent purchase as the DVD contains a selection of videos from Music by Cavelight. I would have given the money for this alone as they provide an excellent visual accompanyment to the tunes which comes in handy for any late night gatherings in which a little visual stimulation is appreciated.
