"Valley of the Shadows" is a song by English drum and bass duo Origin Unknown.

[2] "Valley of the Shadows" proved a lot more popular than the A-side, "The Touch", and the single went on to become one of the label's best-selling releases.

The phrase "Felt that I was in this long dark tunnel" was sampled from an episode of the BBC documentary series Q.E.D., first shown in 1988, concerning out-of-body experiences.

Most of the drum sounds were sampled from the free CD from the first issues of the magazine Future Music in the UK in February 1993.

The title also lends itself to Kodwo Eshun's masterpiece 'More Brilliant Than The Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction'.
