Originally released as a tour-only release, circulating in
2005, Inside The Shadow now gets a proper reissue from
Dominick Fernow's Hospital Productions. Here, C. Spencer Yeh
(operating under his Burning Star Core moniker) unleashes
purely organic soundscapes, carved out of violin plus bells
and other such sonorous textures. The album's quarter-hour
title track eschews electronic sound sources in favour of
gruff, overdriven string drones and a turbulent cacophony of
jangling metals. It all sounds somehow ritualistic, even
devotional in tone, perhaps carrying an air of gamelan about
it too. On 'United' Yeh turns his violin into something that
resembles a synthesizer, spinning sustaining, electronically
modulated chords that flirt with quivering, drone-infused
melodies. Once again, there's something about its
trance-friendly throb that approaches a quasi-religious tone.
The final piece reprises the steady, textured drone of the
opening cut, but strips it of the chiming metallic elements
leaving a beam of grimy tape noise and string tonality.
