Music by Cavelight is the first solo studio album by American hip hop producer Blockhead.[1] It was released on Ninja Tune on March 23, 2004.[1] It peaked at number 43 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.[2] It received generally favorable reviews from critics.[3]
Release
Music by Cavelight came about when Mush Records, for whom Blockhead had already produced a breakbeat album, asked him to produce an album.[4] After Mush Records stopped returning his phone calls, he and his manager sent the demos around other labels before Ninja Tune, having received a copy through Warp Records, offered to release the album.[4]
Critical reception
Template:Music ratings At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72, based on 10 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]
John Bush of AllMusic wrote, "These tracks are much smoother than the warped jams that fans of his hip-hop work know him for; most of the instrument sources on these tracks are not only recognizable, but hardly tampered with at all."[5] Rollie Pemberton of Pitchfork stated that "All around, Blockhead's first foray into solo sound collage is far from bad, but it rarely steals the show the way his rapper-associated work tends to."[6]
