CD Review: Joseph Sullinger's 'Earth Voyage'

Joseph Sullinger
Earth Voyage
Soundship Music

Based in Mexico, Joseph Sullinger explores the world of smooth, Latin fusion with a touch of flamenco, new age, and classical elements with lively percussion. The fusion sounds of guitar and percussion resemble the music of Ottmar Liebert or Strunz and Farah. The ten tracks are named after various elemental terms, including "New Shores," "The Ocean," and "Sands of Time." The instrumental compositions are perfect for any earthly voyage at any time. Matthew Montfort and Ancient Future are two other musicians with a knack for latin fusion and classical guitar. Joseph is accompanied by the members of the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition to classical guitar, the violin, tuba, melodion, electric bass, keyboards, synth, and drums round out the instrumental repertoire. Start your earthly voyage with Joseph Sullinger's 'Earth Voyage'. ~ Matthew Forss
