5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Music, September 28, 2007

OK, I am very picky when it comes to chanting and I have to say Temple has done a beautiful job capturing the spirit of these ancient Hebrew prayers. Lead singer Danya Uriel's voice is gentle, pure and relaxing and reminded me of Enya, Deva Premal, and Snatam Kaur - angelic and at the same time raw and real. Israeli producer and guitar player Eyal Rivlin's playing style is very reminiscent of early Will Ackerman and the new age sound of Windham Hill. Sounds True did a great job with the elaborate liner notes, which give the deeper translations of each of the 7 Hebrew mantras, and make the CD usable as a practice tool. Whether you are a fan of Kabbalah or Jewish Mysticism, or love to sing sacred chants and Kirtan (a la Krishna Das or Jai Uttal) this CD adds a missing component to any musical collection. Also, since the CD is 58 minutes long and has a consistent contemplative sound throughout, I found it to work very well in my massage and healing practice.

I just returned from an enchanting weekend at my favorite place the Omega Institute of Holistic Studies where I attended their Ecstatic Chant weekend with Krishna Das, Snatam Kaur, Deva Premal just to name a few. An unexpected pleasure occurred as I happened upon Danya and Eyal singing as they sat under a tree on the Omega campus. I found myself drawn to Danya's lovely, soothing voice and Eyal's musical talents and energy. I was thrilled to learn they had a CD that had recently been released. I bought one, listened to it over and over again on my four hour drive home. The next morning, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed after being away for five days. As I read my many, many e-mails, I had Coming Home playing in the background. I began noticing how my stress level was gradually reduced. I then found myself calling Sounds True and ordered 10 CD's for family and friends. What a great Chanukah gift. I love to chant and had not had an opportunity before to chant in Hebrew. It is a joy!

If you are looking for a beautiful CD of music that is both uplifting and soul-soothing at the same time, then you should definitely buy this disc. This may be the first CD from Temple but I hope it is the first in a line of many to come!
