The beats are lush and emotional, while the sequencing is carefully scripted. On \"Cherry Picker,\" a light piano loop rides over hard drums, giving way to guitars, horns and an enchanting vocal sample. The energy picks up on \"Art of Walking,\" infusing percussion elements, an upright bass and some gospel\/soul influenced vocals. Definitely capable of an energizing head nod.

Some of these beats are heavy on the head - definite Walkman material for the winter months or maybe that 3:30 AM cool out moment at the bar (that's actually my favorite time of the night to play records). Whatever the case, this album deserves a solid listen from front to back in order to catch all the subtle nuances and eloquent mood changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2nd instrumental album from NYC producer, 1st time on vinyl since 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g grey marble colored double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edigital download included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Ninja Tune 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by E's E 11\/2005\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eALSO AVAILABLE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/blockhead-music-by-cavelight-180g-colored-vinyl-vinyl-3lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlockhead: Music By Cavelight Colored Vinyl 3LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/blockhead-the-music-scene-180g-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlockhead: The Music Scene Colored Vinyl LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/aesop-rock-blockhead-garbology-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAesop Rock \u0026amp; Blockhead: Garbology Colored Vinyl 2LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blockhead","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP *Loc12E","offer_id":40047060516954,"sku":"hh-4444","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/blockhead-downtownscience-coloredvinyl-1.jpg?v=1759287003","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/blockhead-downtown-science-180g-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
