UrbThis is an album that seeks to push boundaries, and succeeds. [May 2004, p.84]
-
Entertainment WeeklyBlockhead injects enough emotional expression into the dusky downtempo tracks to separate himself from the knob-twiddling pack. [2 Apr 2004, p.66]
-
Alternative PressExcellent. [Jun 2004, p.111]
-
When the record falls a bit short in the middle area, Blockhead's tendency to reassemble things comes into play again.
-
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.
-
Without a deft rap to go over these tracks, many of them merely drift over the listener.
-
Though the dark atmosphere can weigh Cavelight down on extended listening, it is the record's most lush, emotional moments, like the operatic "Sunday Séance," that are most suggestive of Blockhead's potential.
-
It's not as interesting as it could and probably should be.
-
Many tunes possess an open, spacious quality, as if waiting for the jigsaws last piece.
-
The biggest problem with the album is that most of the tracks feel like there should be a rap over them.
