Artist Biography

There are five artists with this name 1. An American Electronic Music Duo: CRYSTAL (Tom Moore & Mike Clay) 2. An American rock band 3. A Hungarian folk band 4. A Japanese synthpop band 5. A German rave project 1. CRYSTAL is Tom Moore (of VOYAGER) and Mike Clay (of Dreaming Sun). Formed in 1979, this electronic music duo has created and played electronic/atmospheric/space music reminiscent of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze. They have played for planetariums, outdoor festivals, space themed shows at colleges, and meditation retreats. The media has termed this duo "alchemists of the electronic arts." They are known for their music blended with visuals for a musical visonary experience. In late 2011 CRYSTAL released the album "Beyond Form" on the Sense of Purpose Music label. Using keyboard synthesizers this release evokes a contemplative spaciousness. This music ranges from simple to complex sonic textures, all evoking an attentiveness for deep listening. 2. Crystal was formed in early 1983, bringing together the talents of a diverse set of musicians. Singer/Bassist Andy Nossal and keyboardist Bill Cornish both came from backgrounds that included jazz and classical music while Grady McGrew and Rick Williams had extensive experience in the rock genre. Combining their musicianship with a large-scale sound and light show, they spent the next twelve years performing steadily in their hometown of San Diego, California as well as touring extensively through California, Nevada, Arizona, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota, Alaska and Japan. During this time, Crystal opened concerts for national acts such as Kansas, Steelheart, Firehouse, Steppenwolf, Joan Jett, The Romantics, Pat Travers, Andy Taylor (formerly of Duran Duran), Foghat, Gary Ridgerath (REO Speedwagon), Head East, The Bus Boys and others. In 1985, Crystal released its first album entitled The One For You. It received favorable reviews in the local press. Los Angeles Times critic Thomas K Arnold put it this way: "Given their druthers, these guys would rather rock and they do so with passion and a surprising amount of instrumental finesse and versatility." In 1986, they were voted "Best Rock and Roll Band" at the annual North County Entertainer Awards as voted by San Diego club patrons. In 1989, Crystal had the opportunity to work with John and Dino Elephante (of Kansas fame) who produced their self-titled second release. Recording at the Elephante owned Pakaderm Studios in Los Alamitos, California was an extreme honor for the band whose musicianship had been influenced by progressive bands such as Kansas. Singer John Elephante enjoyed the material enough that he volunteered to do the backup vocals himself. Shortly after being chosen as Best Club Band in the San Diego Music Awards, Crystal released Crystal 3. Once again, this mini-album featured the production magic of the Elephante Brothers. Soon after its release, Crystal made the first of three tours of Japan. In 2000, sparked by interest in Europe and on the Internet, Crystal partnered with the Song Haus Music Rewind & AOR Heaven labels. Their latest CD, Collection, was released in July, 2000. It recieved very strong reviews from the European press and was one of the top ten selling CDs for German distributor AOR Heaven for the year 2000. Crystal has not played out regularly since 1994, but did reunion performances in 1995 and 2009. The band members are all still active in the music scene. 3) Crystal is a Hungarian folk-pop group formed in 1998. It's members are Katalin Lajtai, Gábor Kasza and Tibor Kasza. They have five albums: Két utazó (2000), Fújja el a szél (2002), Trilógia (2004) and Világok hangjai (2007), Gregorian (2009). 4) Crystal is a japanese synth pop band from Tokyo. They are a live-band consisting of 4 keyboarders and a VJ. Some of them are designers. They like Yoko Ono, Depeche Mode, Human League, Cristina, Art Of Noise, etc and DJ too. They released their first EP "Initiative" on Institubes in 2009. 5) Crystal was a German one-track side project of Jens Thele, manager of Scooter. The only single he released under this name was "Love is Like Oxygen" in 1995.

Reviews for "From Plaything to Nightmare: The Spooky Witch Doll Phenomenon"
1. Laura - 1 out of 5 stars - I was sorely disappointed with the Spooky witch doll. The quality of the materials used was subpar, and the doll itself looked nothing like the picture. The outfit was poorly sewn and the colors were faded. It didn't even come with the promised accessories. Overall, it felt like a cheap knockoff rather than a spooky Halloween decoration.
2. Mark - 2 out of 5 stars - The Spooky witch doll fell short of my expectations. While it was a decent size, the design lacked creativity and the details were poorly executed. The stitching on the doll's face was uneven and the paint job was sloppy. Additionally, the doll arrived with a strange smell, which made it unwelcome in my home. For the price, I expected a much better product.
3. Jennifer - 2 out of 5 stars - I regret purchasing the Spooky witch doll. The doll's hair was frizzy and tangled, making it look unkempt and unattractive. The clothing was flimsy and poorly tailored, and the seams were visibly coming apart. The doll's limbs were also loose, which made it difficult to pose or display. Overall, the quality of the doll did not match its price, and I would not recommend it to others.
4. Michael - 1 out of 5 stars - The Spooky witch doll was a complete letdown. The doll's face was badly painted with uneven features and smudged makeup. The clothing was made of a cheap, thin material that ripped easily. To make matters worse, the doll's limbs were loose and fell off with minimal movement. It was clear that the product was poorly made and lacked any attention to detail. Overall, it was a waste of money and not worth purchasing.
