Awesome sound!

"I just discovered the music of Rebbe Soul -- and can't recommend it enough. In the past, I've been a little wary of Jewish music, in part because much of it seemed shlocky or schmaltzy; clearly a little over-sentimental. However, Rebbe Soul -- like the musicians behind such bands as the Klezmatics -- has borrowed from traditional sources (liturgic music, prayers, etc) and contemporary musical trends (sampling, world beat, etc) to create a gorgeous musical fusion. Highly recommended...."
