"Shield For Your Eyes, A Beast In The Well On Your Hand" comes from Cell-Scape, Melt-Banana's sixth album, released in 2003, and by this band's hyper-compressed standards it's practically an epic: at 4 minutes it ranks among the longest songs they'd written. Yasuko Onuki wrote the words, and the music is credited to the band as a whole.
Cell-Scape was where Melt-Banana let electronics into the chaos and traded the scuzz for a hi-fi sheen that made them easier to get into, without sanding off the jitter. The record was built on a drum machine, with some of the programmed patterns modeled on Dave Witte's playing.
