Resurrection - an awesome word, an almost unfathomable concept. Anyone who knows SWEET CRYSTAL also knows our reverence for which the word stands.
Times change. People move on. Music tastes and trends evolve, but a good song remains a good song and a good message...well, that could go on forever.
After more than 15 years of searching, the resurfacing of the master mix tape of our first release "Power-N-Glory" was so unexpected and to us, miraculous, that the term "resurrected" seemed fitting. The story behind this project can be found at our website, www.sweetcrystal.com.
Thank you for helping keep this part of our musical dream and heritage alive. We cherish our families, our friends and the fans we know and have known these many years.
Enjoy this trip down memory lane. We promise you - there is so much more to come.

SWEET CRYSTAL 'POWER-N-GLORY' (NIGHTCRIER MUSIC
We're going back 18 years in time when a certain Christian Rockband called SWEET CRYSTAL released an obscure and very rare debut Tape. The Tape became that obscure that even the band couldn't find the original master Tapes. In the late 1990s however a certain magazine in Holland (Strutter of course) became aware of a new CD released by SWEET CRYSTAL and that particular record got a rave review. The band was still playing Classic AOR a la SURVIVOR and JOURNEY, and I highly recommended the band. Now a few years later the band returns to the scene with the release of a CD which contains that very rare debut Tape recording from 1985. The band did find the mastertapes and therefore this is the original record, and happily the sound and production is very good, of CD quality, so I can easily recommend this CD. It's actually a mini-CD, with 6 tracks spanning 25-minutes in total playing time. Musically it's of course pure 1980s AOR like a mix between SWEET COMFORT BAND, 80s PETRA, LE ROUX and SURVIVOR. Especially the first 3 songs ("Power and the glory", "Lead me to the rock" and "Now or never") are great uptempo AOR rockers with nice keys and catchy hooks and memorable choruses. Although th
