Music By Cavelight (20th Anniversary)

Music by Cavelight is the first solo studio album by American hip hop producer Blockhead. It was originally released on Ninja Tune in 2004. An album of sample-heavy collages, the music ranges from Kid Koala-like humuor (“Intro: Hello Popartz”) to more moody soundscapes (“You’ve Got Maelstrom” or the martial “Sunday Séance”). Blockhead carefully merges tonal qualities, like the sad strings and funk bass of “Carnivores Unite” or the outer-space zither of “Jet Son.
