Description
Superb original LP release from Jimmy Hotz, Beyond The Crystal Sea, issued in 1980 by Vision Records (VR-777). LP is in strong VG++ condition, superb. Cover is VG+ with edge wear (seams fine) and a bit of paper loss in the gatefold.
Ken Scott endorses the album in Archivist:
“Ask any in-the-know collector about the best Christian progressive art rock album and the answer is usually a toss up between Arkangel’s Warrior and this one. Beyond The Crystal Sea is the heavier and spacier of the two, plastered with what seems like layer upon layer of synthesizers. ‘March Of The Dead Souls’ pins your ears to the wall from the start with its hard space rock barrage and eerie banshee choirs. Hotz’s layered hard rock guitar is absolutely venomous on ‘Hand Of The Most High’ and the instrumental ‘Teton’ , while ‘Vision Ships’, ‘Beyond The Blues’, and ‘From Love Life Did Begin’ are reminiscent of the melodic lavish textures of Yes (though vocally Hotz brings to mind Peter Gabriel of early Genesis). Kemper Crabb is in here playing recorder on ‘Alpine Magic’. The production quality is superb as is the fantasy cover art. If you’ve got a good stereo you’re gonna wanna blast this up loud. It’s out of this world!”
