SOMNIUM

Robert Rich is best known for his "sleep concerts". During the 80's, in the San Francisco Area, his ambient music was playing, and the audience has to sleep. Robert Rich woke them up with piano notes. So, Robert Rich make ambient music to sleep or to meditate. So, often, the ambient music is long, right ? Somnium is SEVEN HOURS LONG !!!! Seriously, it's huge. It's a music to sleep, and night is long so the music have to be long, but seven hours, it's really long. It is boring ? If you listen to it like a classic rock album, of course it is. But if you try to sleep or to meditate, it's just the perfect album. There's very uplifting moment. For this huge work, Rich deserves 4 stars.
