Freq. Magnet: Principium Somniferum DVD (2006) A followup DVD+/-R NTSC format video release, which contains custom-designed computer graphics to go with the original CD musick. Contains all the same tracks, etc. as the CD but provides a visual backdrop to enjoy along with the musick, if your DVD player supports the DVD-R or DVD+R (recordable) formats. Please note: the DVD can be purchased in three ways: (1) separately, on its own; (2) with the CD as a combo set; or (3) as an addition to an already purchased Prin. Somn. CD. Please see the Freq. Magnet Products page for details or contact Sound-O-Mat Recordings directly. Music Samples: CD Baby & SoundClick Reviews: Discogs.com

Freq. Magnet: Principium Somniferum Music Samples: CD Baby, SoundClick & Freq. Magnet MySpace page Reviews: Scintillating Spelling Bee (archived) Discogs.com "This is very cool, nice and minimal. It's nice; not as ''guitar'' as I was expecting. There are some very vocal-like passages (samples?) in here, angelic in parts (''Obliquorse''); really cool guitar loops on ''Hexed''. You really manage to wring some cool sounds out of your gear. This has a very wide stage, too; it seems murkier than Austere stuff, but without sounding muddy (if that makes sense?) And I do love the package: the case pisses me off; you just can't stack it anywhere, and it rolls out of my CD rack. Brilliant! But more importantly the music here is very good; this side-project deserves Kudos!"  — Forrest (SunDummy) "Wonderful music, some very interesting spoken interludes (especially the first one, letting me know I can drive while listening.) I can hear a guitar!! Make more CDs like this one! Nice packaging too."   — Gordon Danis, Esq.
