"It's with great pleasure that we present you the new album from Bulgaria's Shrine. Somnia is a complex audio metaphor that can be interpreted as an aural equivalent of a "low level" lucid dreamstate - a dream in which the dreamer is not fully aware he is dreaming but is still having the ability to control the dream. Based on processing of multiple sound sources ranging from audio synthesis, acoustic instruments and field recordings, the album explores several imaginary realities immersing you into a lucid-like experience through sound. Almost an hour long, it contains 8 thematically independent compositions representing an extended blend of ambient, acoustic music and nature sounds. Use it as a sound guide to lucid dreaming. Edition of 600 copies in 6 panel Digipack. 8 Tracks. Running Time 53:30" [label info]

"...The fifty-three minutes, also eight tracks, are also not the most darkest things I have found on this label. Drifting synthesizer music, with a substantial amount of 'nature sounds' as they are called on the press release, along with acoustic music, which is something I found less obvious to hear on
this release. In some pieces, like 'The Iron Water', I thought to hear an influence from the old Silent Records catalogue, and its a great track. Like the release by Desiderii Marginis, Shrine has a nice variation to offer in their pieces making this an enjoyable album, and this time with no visible red stains. Thumbs up if you want to do some great lucid dreaming. Shrine is the best of these four, for me, that is." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
