────[Release Note]──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I don't know what it is about the music that this man plays,
but the Lord God has definitely given him a gift to write and
play music that touches the very heart and soul of a listener.
I have all six of his CD's and to me this is his best work yet.
A real tour de force of passionate power and feel-good energy.
1: Cien Fuegos - Translated as "A hundred fires", this starts
off more slowly than one might think given the title. We are
started off by what sounds to me like a rattle combined with a
'rolling' cymbal. The beautiful guitar melodies range in pace
from mid-tempo to moderately quick. Chimes make a nice
appearance in here on occasion. I love the violin work in this
too. For some reason, it puts me in mind of looking out at the
crashing waves on a beautiful tropical day. Very relaxing, with
just enough 'fire' to warm the blood and stir the heart.
2. Cafe Tropical- This the title track, and a pretty fast one
at that. It's a memorable tune to be certain, a beautiful dance
between catchy quick guitar and invigorating trumpet melodies.
Most of the guitar passages in hee appear to actually PRETTY
quick, with some rapid fire fluid 'runs'. The trumpet passage
in the middle brings a smile. A very danceable tune that makes
me want to grab a sangria.
3. The Streets Of Old San Juan- Here we have another
'middle-of-the-road' piece as far as tempo. The percussion and
invigorating guitar will draw you in quickly. Despite SOME very
fast playing in parts, I love the mellow laid-back feel of the
piece as a whole. The piano featured in this cut add a really
'tasty' flaveor that gives the piece a very nice character. The
percussion stirs your heart while the guitar carries you along
on a journey through the streets of this warm and inviting
locale. Ole.
4. Spanish Town- Guitar and chimes begin the piece. It's a
'happy' little ditty that pulls you in fast. Again, the tempo
is laid-back a bit, proving that Johannes does not have to
always play a hundred miles a second to captivate a listener.
The percussion and chimes warm this piece up as the guitar
dances along. What I really love is the inclusion of the steel
drums in here to give this piece a really exotic feel. It's a
favorite.
5. Tides Of Eden - This is just BEAUTIFUL. It's my favorite
tune on the disc. I LOVE it when Johannes decides to play it
slow. This starts off VERY slowly, but doesn't stay that way.
We are started off by very slow and pretty keyboards, chimes
and violin, over which the guitar dances for us. The variations
in the guitar's pacing paint a picture of incoming tides for
us. I prefer the slower passages, but even the quicker runs are
just as lovely and stirring to my heart and my blood. I can
visualize standing alone or with a special someone upon a beach
at sunset, watching the sun go down and seeing the tides come
in. The occasional chimes and bells are a nice touch. The best
part, or the most intriguing to me, is how the guitar drops
away at the end, allowing the piece to finish with a beatiful,
almost very softly 'crying' violin passage. This is an
exquisite piece of music, and my favorite piece on the entire
CD.
6. Ole Ole Ola- To me, this is road music. Put the top down and
cruise The pacing is just right for me to picture a leisurely
drive along a sun-splashed coastal paradise. As always, the
guitar and percussion are fetching. In particular, the
percussion to me feels almost primal. The chimes flow softly,
almost like gentle waves through the melody on occasion. I just
love it.
7. Suave- Here's another laid-back, jaunty, feel good number.
Guitar and percussion mate with a SMOOTH undercurrent of piano.
When I hear this I feel like a super-cool high-roller strolling
in for a night on the town. I love the relaxing pace of this,
and the guitar playing just makes me want to chill out and
enjoy it all. Chimes are here again, adding a warm touch to it
all. The piano puts me in mind of being in a high-class
tropical nightclub. Beautiful! Bravo!
8. El Zocolo - Here, we finally get pretty fast. The opening
guitar passage is almost 'swirling' its way along. It feels to
me like another "cruising" melody, and I love it. For the most
part, the percussion sounds a little softer, as if carrying the
guitar instead of dancing along beside it, but that's cool with
me. I like it very much. I love where the chimes come in, and
the faster pace feels like Johannes 'busting loose' a bit. I
LOVE pieces that feel like top-down, gun the engine road music.
9. Santeria- This piece, feels to me like another mid-tempo
number. Guitar, percussion, and chimes interweave again at the
start. The guitar melodies are, as always, terrific and stir
the soul to me. The percussion and pace make this a dance
number, but a kind of relaxed number that you "groove" to
instead of dancing a thousand miles an hour. Great stuff...
love it. :)
10. Chica Chica - Another quick one. This feels like a samba or
something similar to it. Quick, blood-pumping guitar runs and
percussion are the stars of the piece. The guitar heats you up
while the percussion's pace keeps you moving.
11. Para La Habana- This is started by lovely slow guitar and
the tapping of percussion that sounds like wooden blocks. The
sound of the guitars puts me in the mindset of hearing a
laid-back but SPICY piece of Cuban jazz music. I LOVE the
violin that dances through this piece. At first I found the
vocals distracting but they grew on me and gave this closing
song a very nice flavor.
In closing I will just say this. If you are a fan of Johannes
Linstead's music, you owe it to yourself to get Cafe Tropical.
It's Johannes' best work yet in my view. If you are not a fan,
one listen to Cafe Tropical may make you a fan forever. Happy
listening, and God bless.

────[Group Notes]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Dgn is around since 1998...
After a few years, a few rippers who left, a few who joined, people
greeting,people yelling, people threatening, people helping, people
watching, we're still enjoying our aime: Let ppl listen to what they
are gonna buy b4 they pay a single penny.
There have been also some people and groups that helped out during the
last few years, maybe it's because of them that (against all odds) we
are still releasing and doing well, those know who they are, and we'll
thank forever.
We remind our beloved public, we're against all kind of distrubution,
don't search our rips neither in your preferred XDcc channel, nor in
your local 127.0.0.1 p2p program, We do not distribute ! But it's not
nice to buy when you do not know what you're buying.
As a matter of fact, DGN is a private group, and do not need rippers,
fast or slow shells, traders, t1+ sites, couriers, prewhores, and hw
suppliers, we need only a nice chalet in Switzerland/Canada or a Villa
in the Caribbean sea where to listen to some chillout music.
If you can supply any of those, for free, feel free to contact us for
an application form.
Remember to support the artists.
DGN Crew, 2003
