Love resonates from each note of the long-awaited musical collaboration of American singer Danya Uriel and Israeli guitarist Eyal Rivlin, the duo known as Temple. The alchemical fusion of Uriel's angelic soprano and Rivlin's hypnotic instrumentation results in Coming Home, a collection of original Hebrew chants that honor the sacred and foster inner healing and inspiration. Fans of Jewish music and Kabbalah, as well as lovers of Kirtan and chanting, will delight in this collection of prayer songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coming Home To Me Means Opening My Heart, September 6, 2007

By	Vicki L. Fox (Harrisburg, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

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

By	Music Mind - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't stop listening!, September 25, 2007

By	JoyGirl - See all my reviews

This is one of those rare CDs that never fails to make me feel better. Each track is more beautiful than the last. The music is so healing, so angelic, so enchanting, that I never tire of hearing it over and over. This would be a great CD to listen to during yoga, meditation or massage - but I also like to listen to it while I'm washing dishes or driving in traffic! Brings a calming piece of heaven to me wherever I am. Don't hesitate to get this one - you won't be sorry!
