CMU
Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) is the generic technical name for concrete blocks.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Cinder blocks differ from concrete blocks in their aggregate content. Cinder blocks are made from coal cinders and portland cement. Cinder blocks are lighter and, depending on aggregate availability, may be cheaper than concrete blocks of the same size.

Click
on the 12Blocks link in that article, LRF -- it's a group called Loom Studio. They seem to be manufacturing them, though I don't know where.
