Music reviews of Temple of Love

Music Review: needs direction
Rating: 3 Stars

I do not think it is a good as Shelter. It seems to lack direction. The violins do not fit the music. Album was more melancholy than meditative.

Description of Temple of Love

"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.


Rasa return with another CD of dream hymns from India. Taking their early cues from the pop arrangements of the 1970 George Harrison-produced hit "Govinda" by the Radha Krsna Temple, they turn Indian bhajans or hymns into often intoxicating entreaties. As on previous discs, Hans Christian creates deeply layered orchestrations of cello, sitar, sarangi (a bowed Indian stringed instrument), electronics, and percussion. That's the pond upon which singer Kim Waters drops her chant melodies in one of those serene voices that descend from the heavens. While other Rasa albums tended toward the slow-trance electronica side of groove, Temple of Love had a dreamier, contemplative sound often free of rhythm. "Jaya Radhe" and "Parama Karuna" follow this path with Waters in a free-float over drones that unfold like colored smoke. But rhythm isn't completely absent. "Doya Koro" and "Om Purnam" have slow, seductive trance pulses that mix loops and Indian hand percussion. However, "Adharam Madhuram" almost heads into ethno-lounge terrain. The title of this album, Temple of Love, refers to the temples of Khajuraho in India, known for their erotic carvings and love stories. Rasa could have provided their perfect soundtrack. These aren't your standard Hare Krishna chants anymore. --John Diliberto
