Sol Luna Tierra

Music Design, May/June 1999
"With masterful fretwork and vivid imagination, exciting young acoustic guitarist Johannes Linstead blends the best of traditional and contemporary South American/Caribbean melodies on this passionate, original and deeply emotional recording. Beginning with the beautiful first selection, "Mountain Mist," and throughout the following ten tracks, Linstead creates music that reflects the exciting sounds of nouveau flamenco with an amazingly strong debut album. From poignant and contemplative to fiery and provocative, Sol Luna Tierra embraces the many sounds and emotions of this striking genre of music."

Ron Gudino, RPM Magazine
"...Johannes Linstead is certainly among the cream to rise to the top of the (nouveau flamenco) genre with a strong debut titled Sol Luna Tierra (Sun Moon Earth). Linstead brings primal drums and a gypsy flute to bear on his flamenco flourishes and meticulous rhythms, adding a unique and independent voice to the musical parlance of his influences. Which means, in laymen's terms, that Linstead's original pieces are veritable daydreams for the easy listening/instrumental audience market which will swoon on first contact with the single titled 'Mountain Mist'..."

What Talent!.......2007-06-26

Anybody who loves acoustic guitar, flamenco music will appreciate the skills and the passion of this performer. A very enjoyable listen!

Buyer Beware - Defective CD.......2006-12-22

I have ordered this CD two times from Amazon and both times the CD was defective. The second disc was completely blank!

Can't get enough of it.......2006-09-20

I played this CD at a tapas party for my birthday and every single person there asked the name of it and a few even forced me to write down the name Johannes Linstead and the title of the CD, that's how much they wanted to buy it for themselves!! It really made the party atmosphere come alive with that special Spanish flamenco flavor, but not the same old stuff. This is one CD that you do not stack away, I play it all the time and never tire of it, I am sure some day I will, but not for a while. I never really knew about "new age" flamenco music, but this CD has been a wonderfully pleasant discovery. I even exercise to it. Try it, you'll love it too.

Bravo Johannes!.......2006-07-05

I may not be a musical connoisseur, but I do know quality when I hear it. That's what's so exciting about stumbling across a previously unknown artist and then falling madly in love with his gift. I was looking for some romantic, relaxing, background music to enjoy poolside when I discovered Johannes Linstead. I listenened to every single sample track and then bought all his CDs in one fell swoop. This collection - just like all the others - is an exquisite sensory journey with lush strings and accompaniments. Definitely NOT background music... you will want to wrap yourself up in this stuff.

Relaxing and Moving.......2003-05-11

I first heard this Cd being played in a store in a Miami florida mall and fell in love with it, although the store was not a music store they did sell the cd and I bought it.
I normally do not like just "music" and no singing but this CD is the exception, all of the songs are both relaxing and moving I highly recommend this cd if you want to lay on your patio and sip a cool drink, or just relax anywhere, it drifts you off to exotic places.
