"On Music By Cavelight the downtown New Yorker with production credits for the likes of Aesop Rock and Slug of Atmosphere fame, comes through with some of the most sublime, understated, melancholic hip hop you're likely to hear this year. From the anti-fanfare of opener 'Insomniac Olympics', through the elegiac strings and slomo disco-bass of 'Carnivores Unite' on into the two-minutes-to-midnight atmospherics of 'You've Got Maelstrom', the spread out reggaephonics of 'A Better Place', and right on up to the flute and eastern violin anomie of Music By Cavelight, this is a record that establishes its own emotional space and holds it from start to finish. First 5000 copies of the record contain a bonus CD/Bonus 12" containing 6 instrumental cuts that originally appeared on Aesop Rock records."

"Tony Simon aka Blockhead debuted on Ninja Tune in 2004 with the critically acclaimed Music By Cavelight. Now he returns with another set of deep, emotional instrumental hip hop, this time dedicated to the downtown area of Manhattan where he grew up and has lived his entire life, encompassing all the attitude, anger and edginess of the neighborhood. Plus some melancholy reflections upon failed relationships and the promise of future loves. The CD release of Downtown Science also includes a bonus DVD which includes the winners of the film-making competition that Ninja ran for Music By Cavelight."
