"...This is one of those instrumental albums where you can lose yourself in the music with ease and still be surprised by the twists and turns through which Blockhead�s production takes you. It�s the perfect soundtrack to a grey winter morning or a quiet, lounging sunday. An ode to Manhattan that transcends geographical borders, this is just great instrumental music like they don�t make much of anymore. While the man can flip some great beats for the likes of Aesop or Cage, here he shows that he can also take on you a journey without any vocal help. It�s all in the delivery, and �Downtown Science� comes ringing to your door and drops off a great album of urban melodies and rhythms you can take with you down any concrete landscape..."
