Description
JIMMY HOTZ – Beyond The Crystal Sea. Vision Records VR 777. COVER: VG+, gatefold. VINYL: EXCELLENT, visible mar on S1 T1 is not audible, very clean sounding copy. Issued in 1980. From the Oklahoma City area. TRACKS: Observations Of A Larger Reality: March Of The Dead Souls/Hand Of The Most High, Night Passage, Vision Ships, Teton, Beyond The Blues, Alpine Magic, and From Love Life Did Begin. DESCRIPTION: Ask any in-the-know collector about the best Christian progressive art rock albums and the answer will usually solicit one of two responses: 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 Blue, and From Love Life Did Begin are more reminiscent of the melodic lavish textures of Yes (though vocally Hotz is closer to Peter Gabriel in texture). Kemper Crabb makes an appearance 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 crank this up to high heaven. Out of this world, man!!!
