Deffinitly one the best of 2007 a year not filled with that many great releases. This is one of the few exceptions. I dare you not to smile and want to get up and dance when hearing "Uncle Tony's Coloring Book". It's fast beats and happy sound are some of the best sounds I've heard all year. As great as blockheads first two albums were this is right up there. Not as good as "Music by Cavelight" but what could match one of my 3 to 5 favorite albums of this decade. I would say this is a CD for anybody in a funk. It will get you right out and put a big smile on your face but I've said that before. also look out for "None Shall Pass" by Aesop Rock on which Blockhead produced 7 tracks from what I've heard it should be just as good. All in all a killer CD from one of the best producers/beat makers out there. way to go Blockhead.None Shall Pass

Blockhead is extremely consistant when it comes to beat making and musical composition. His music creates that environment where you can just sit back and groove to the sounds or get up and bounce to em. I would like to give this 5 stars, and its really more like 4 1/2 but Music by Cavelight is a strong 5 and it's not quite as good. There seem to be a tad more vocal samples than i would like but the strong use of the brass and his guitar licks makes it so very Blockhead-y. I Definitely recommend to all Blockhead fans (you won't be disappointed), but if you are new i would recommend listening to Music by Cavelight first.

blockhead makes beats for hip hop artists such as aesop rock and a few other artist on Def Jux records i would check out all 3 of his cds there amazing and i would also check out some aesop rock cds to hear some of his other works

Often engaging though rarely exceptional, these edgy background beats register rarely past enjoyably competent when glanced at full view repeatedly.

This is an excellent follow up to Down Town Science. It's slightly up beat with Blockheads excellent feel for groove. A must have for Blockhead fans out there.
