Synopsis

Album Description
Blockhead is the go to man for anyone in the know on the indie hip hop scene. Helping propel MC talents such as Aesop Rock, Cage, Slug, Murs, etc. with his tough instrumentals that inspire the lyrical weight of such people. Wanting to stretch out his creativity he approached Ninja Tune with a killer demo for what was to become his debut album, Music By Cavelight, which contained the head-nodding hit of 2004, `Insomniac Olympics'. Since then there has been a second Ninja Tune album, Downtown Science, and slew of production credits, most notably his work on the Aesop Rock album, None Shall Pass, for Def Jux. To coincide with that release, and the subsequent tour following, Blockhead has decided to self-release his latest collection entitled Uncle Tony's Coloring Book. An upbeat collection of fun instrumentals with the trademark Blockhead production style, tough beats and catchy grooves that have infected his earlier releases. So grab your crayons, spread them out on the floor and color along to the sounds of Uncle Tony's Coloring Book.

CD Reviews

Blockhead aka Uncle Tony does it again
John N. Simon | White Plains, NY USA | 08/27/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"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"
Typical chill Blockhead!

"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."
