A unique collaboration between acclaimed classical tenor and composer David Hobson and multi-award winning film composer David Hirschfelder. Utilising a wide palette of musical colours with themes Inspired by the philosophies of mythologist Joseph Campbell 'Inside This Room' is a rich aural experience that deepens on repeated hearings. Defying categorisation here are some reviewers description of the album. THE CANBERRA TIMES: '........ INSIDE THIS ROOM is a bold genre hopping creation that seamlessly melds Hobson's dramatic vocals and unique songwriting talents with Hirschfelder's unsurpassed feel for film and pop composition. It was in 1998 that the two Davids finally merged their studio set ups, symbolically drawing together their threads of musical invention into the colourful musical tapestry that became INSIDE THIS ROOM. A sophisticated melange of world beat, epic cinematic arrangements and hi-tech sampling, the resultant album is a constantly shifting, dynamic song cycle that's difficult to pin down. World opera? New millennial folk? As with all mysteries, the words let us down'. And Mike Daly from the Melbourne AGE: '......... INSIDE THIS ROOM is an exhilarating recording that embraces world, pop, classical and folk influences and must have presented pop and dance-oriented Mushroom Records with a daunting promotional task when they took on distribution. The opening blend of drums, sampled tribal chants and Hobson's high tenor rendition of 'Going Home' (Dvorak's folk-based 'New World' symphony theme) is spectacular. From here, we dart to all points of a musical compass too complex to do full justice here. Spoken samples of philosopher Joseph Campbell provide a springboard for Hirschfelder's wall-to-wall scoring on several tracks, reminiscent at times of Phillip Glass and at others, involving Indian raga rhythms. On the gorgeous 'Last Night' (one of my favorites [yes, that's how THE AGE spells it]) Paul Kelly's mournful lyric is in the best romantic folk tradition, while the final 'Sin I Byal' is a grandiose, multi-layered expansion on a Bulgarian theme. Every track throws up new and exciting sounds on this spectacular CD - one of the best I've heard all year!'
