Synopsis

Album Description
"Inner divinity unveiled! A tantric twist to deep inner peace. Vocals and instrumentals in perfect harmony bring calm, serenity, and a universal connection to what body-mind-soul is all about. Let dreams become reality in every practice ? in life!" ? Hope Zvara, Yoga Teacher Rasa?s latest release, Temple of Love, blends Hans Christian?s excellent meditative and ethereal instrumentation with the achingly beautiful vocals of Kim Waters, creating a distinctive style of classic, yet contemporary, Indian spiritual music. Hans Christian is a classically trained musician originally from Germany. In early adulthood he moved to Los Angeles and quickly became connected in the local music scene. When he met up with Kim Waters in Northern California, they began to develop their own sound that fused her voice with his musicianship. Kim Waters is a distinguished singer and illustrator whose publications include Illuminations from the Bhagavad Gita and The Butter Thief. She has been singing devotional songs of the Vaisnava saints for many years, inspired by the mystical teachings and rich cultural heritage of India. On Temple of Love, Rasa echoes the soothing, hypnotic aspects of Indian spiritual music, adding modern production while maintaining respect for! tradition. Ideal music to facilitate relaxation, meditation, & yoga.

More sinuous, sensual Indian fusion from Rasa
Brianna Neal | USA | 09/29/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is the gentlest and quietest of Rasa's recordings of Indian devotional songs, and perhaps the one best suited for deep meditation. The tone of "Temple of Love" is a bit more whimsical and spacey than that of previous albums, with more synthesizer ambience and less emphasis on drum beats. Kim Waters' voice glides and croons above a symphony of gentle instrumentals, overdubbed by Hans Christian on a multitude of stringed instruments ranging from cello and Scandinavian nyckleharpa to Indian sitar and sarangi, not to mention keyboards and ethnic percussion. Though unique unto itself, Rasa's music was developing a tendency to all sound the same after a while. This dreamy, laid back album is a welcome departure, with some new modes and melodies, and different orchestrations. That being said, the first track "Jaya Radhe" (while not at all the same as the similarly named "Jaya Radha" from the previous album, "Shelter") does sound very similar to something I remember hearing on an earlier release, but I can't place it. The other songs, however, are fresh and new. For more by Rasa, try "Light and Spirit," Hans Christian's solo venture into the world of Renaissance polyphony, with his unique blend of cello, nyckelharpa and sarangi overdubs in tow. It's an interesting twist on the repertoire!

A Journey of Transcendence

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Rasa's latest offering creates the space for the listener to not only transcend universal consciousness but to actually FEEL the the cellular structure relax and align to the memory of Oneness. It's a carefully crafted process - tracks 1-5 set the stage so gently the mind doesn't quite realize what's occurring, track 6 is "lift-off," tracks 7-9 afford the opportunity to live in that state of eternal remembrance. Many, many thanks for sharing this amazing gift, Rasa!"
