| Just picked up the 2010 re-issue of Jimmy Hotz - Beyond the Crystal Sea. I had never heard Hotz before, but was told that he was 70's progressive rock much like early Genesis, Yes, ELP, etc. Much to my surprise and delight, that's exactly what it is. A great CD! Those who enjoy the more ethereal, melodic prog rock of the 70's should check this re-release out before it's gone. Recently released on new label "Born Twice Records" and distributed by Brutal Planet. It should be available on Amazon and Ebay now. I'll have a review up on NLTM soon. ult _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| Yup, I actually said as much in my review. The goofy cover art is, goofy, but the music is pretty cool if you like that trippy 70's style prog-rock. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| Hey Ult if you like him you should check this band out: They mine the same type o' stuff (Genesis, Yes, etc.,) with a tiny bit(and I mean tiny) of Floyd mixed in. | |
