Jimmy Hotz - Beyond the Crystal Sea - Review by Ken Scott
"Ask any in-the-know collector about the best Christian progressive art rock album and the answer is usually as 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 more 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!" (Ken Scott - Archivist)

LYRICS:
I. OBSERVATIONS OF A LARGER REALITY
A. MARCH OF THE DEAD SOULS
B. HAND OF THE MOST HIGH
OBSERVATIONS OF A LARGER REALITY
In the stillness of the morning
I hear the weakened cries
Of those who march as dead souls
To bring more pain and strife
They seem to be the victors
But they only know defeat
As they march against the Mighty King
Who’s called the Prince of Peace
Stand all you children
Be not frightened by their cries
Don’t let your souls be touched
By the madness in their eyes
(Angelic Interlude)
Across the field of battle
You will see the darkened eyes
Of him who is called Satan,
The father of all lies
The Devil has been wounded
And in torment he will be
For though he mends his body
His soul can find no peace
Stand all you children
Be not frightened by his cries
Don’t let your souls be touched
By the madness in his eyes
(Angelic Interlude)
II. NIGHT PASSAGE
III. THE VISION SHIP
THE VISION SHIP
Sail on winged ships
To shores that unfold
To lands that lie
Beyond the Crystal Sea
Board the Vision Ship
And let your worries go
Far away
Rest my weary neighbor
With dreams in your heart
Sing of far and distant lands
Board the Vision Ship
And let your worries go
Then spread your love wings and fly
Spread your love wings and fly
Life’s Magic Queen does lift her head
And then begins to speak
Words of truth to carry us
Beyond the Crystal Sea
The darkness of the night
Does dress her hair with stars
To light the way for lonely sailors
Drifting from afar
Who’ve come to know the light
They’ve come to know the light
So, when it seems that your journey
Is far from its end
And your hope has all gone away
If your heart is burning
For the joy it once knew
Well, my friend
There’s still hope for you
You just board the Vision Ship
And let your worries go
Then spread your love wings and fly
Spread your love wings and fly
IV. TETON
V. BEYOND THE BLUES
BEYOND THE BLUES
The brightness of the morning’s got a hold on me
And I see everything just like new
I can tell by the flicker and the gleam in your eye
That the brightness got a hold on you
We are but as children sleeping
Lying in the dew
Waking with each ray of sunlight
To a road that leads beyond the blues
Listen to the softness of the flowers as they sing
A song of joy and peace
The colors of the mountains
And the coolness of the streams
All seem to flow into me
We are but as children sleeping
Lying in the dew
Waking with each ray of sunlight
To a road that leads beyond the blues
As we look above us let our hearts sing out
With praise for all we see
And look unto the hills as we call upon God
And pray for our brothers in need
For they are but as children sleeping
Lying in the dew
Waking with each ray of sunlight
To a road that leads beyond the blues
VI. ALPINE MAGIC
VII. FROM LOVE LIFE DID BEGIN
FROM LOVE LIFE DID BEGIN
It’s time I be going
He says as he starts to ascend
To far away places
Where the magic of life did begin
Well I’m off with the wind
To prepare us a place
Far from the reaches
Of this time and space
Where life from love did begin
From love life did begin
Remember to share all the life
I have shown you within
For the souls of the sleeping
Are ready to be born again
Well I’m off with the wind
To prepare us a place
Far from the reaches
Of this time and space
Where life from love did begin
From love life did begin
For those who believe
In magic lands
I’ve seen them and it’s true
That the things we find
In our hopes and our dreams
Are real for me and you
But it seems this world
May never see
The land where life began
From - Love
