Robert Rich: Somnium DVD Robert Rich: Somnium DVD (Hypnos - 2000) A monumental event like Robert Rich's audio-only Somnium DVD comes along... setting a sonic first with seven (count 'em) continuous hours of ambient soundscapes from the master himself, blending years of studio experimentations with new electro-acoustic textures... and guess who doesn't have a DVD player... Designed especially for nighttime immersion (like having your own Robert Rich sleep concert!) Somnium delivers highest-possible-resolution DVD-quality sounds in three parts... between 2 to 2.5 hours long... HOURS, people! I can't listen to them, but maybe you can... If so... get on over to Hypnos or Release to score your own and/or learn more. And don't forget, the official Robert Rich website is always an interesting place to browse... Not wanting to further delay spreading the news about Somnium (for those who've not already heard), I've had to create a special Not Rated rating which will be replaced by the real review as soon as I get my @#%$ together, technologically and otherwise. With regrets, though with hope for the future... N.R., 'til soon! This review posted May 31, 2001 AmbiEntrance © 2001-1997 by David J Opdyke (except CD cover art, rights retained by original owners).
