Midnight - M, 2000

An instant legendary release! The first solo attempt of Midnight is a 
private release with a pressing of 500 copies. Initially this was only 
available to the members of his forum but shortly after one could find 
it on very high prices on ebay and elsewhere. Lyrics were given by
Midnight only to the first 100 fans who bought the CD.
Collectors should be VERY careful of various bootlegs circulating. The 
original is the only one that writes "Made In Canada" at the back.


Line up: Midnight (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards, backing vocals)
              Bobby Kovacs (acoustic guitar, keyboards)

Tracks :Pain, Boxes, Black Sheep, 7 Angels, Monkey Song, TV Queens,
            Hide & Seek, Big Bang

Midnight - Songs From The Attic, 2000

There are 2 versions of this release. One that was circulated by Midnight
himself  (top photo on the left) and one by Bobby Kovacs (bottom photo). 
Both versions are CD-Rs It is said that  the Kovacs version was made 
without Midnight's approval and both had big arguments at the time. 
Contains demo versions of some of the "M" tracks
Line up: Midnight (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards)

Midnight - Sakada, 2005 (rough mix, unmastered copy) promo

This is the first promo CD that was circulated to journalists before the 
official release of the album. This is a "Rough mix, unmastered copy" and 
sounds very different than the official release. This unedited version is 
burned directly from the bands original final studio mix. There are 9 songs 
totalling 52 minutes. It is about 6 min longer than the final release and 
with different song order. It has also a different cover than the official 
release and contains the biography of Midnight (the same biography that
is available on this site)
Black Lotus Records pressed around 300 to 400 copies of this early promo
which were spread to journalists of the European metal & rock press.
Shortly after Midnight visited Athens, Greece, for the final mastering & 
production of the album. During his stay he also gave an acoustic set at 
the local club ‘Texas’. It was around the same time (March 2005) when he 
went on a promo tour in five European countries to support the release 
of Sakada. An unknown portion of this promo was destroyed when Black 
Lotus ceased to exist making this CD really rare to find. 
Midnight have been advertising through his myspace page that he 
would release this as the "original unreleased mix as it was intended"
but it never happened.  
Line up: Midnight (vocals, acoustic guitar), Scott Gibson (electric guitars,
              bass), Phil Anderson (drums and percussion, washboard,
              maracas and Hammered Dulcimer). Guests: Ben Jackson (bass),
              Matte Wuolle (guitars), Dave Talkovic (bass), Keith Coker
              (Flute), Dave Steele (Banjo), Ronny Czyrny (acoustic guitar)
              Gerd Woelk (Bass), Tomazo (voice)
              
Tracks :Incubus, Berber Trails, Cat Song, Little Mary Sunshine, Miss Katie,
            War, Lost Boy, Pain, Sakada

Midnight - Sakada, 2005 promo

Headache Magazine sampler vol.4, 2005

'Sakada' was promoted heavily by Black Lotus Records. As a result many
magazines included songs of the album in their various samplers. The 
only such sampler where Midnight appears on the cover is from the 
Dutch magazine 'Headache'. It is the April/May 2005 issue and Midnight
is included with the song 'War'. He was also on the cover of the actual
magazine. 
Another rare item, comes in cardboard sleeve. The number of copies 
pressed is unknown. The magazine has ceased to exist a few years ago.

Metal Invader Warzone XXV sampler 2001

Another interesting and collectible magazine sample. Here you will find
a demo recording of 'Pain' from the 'M' sessions. A really nice recording 
at about 8 seconds shorter than the final 'M' version. Also sounds kind
of louder! This is the fifth known recording of the song 'Pain' available:
(M, Songs From The Attic, Sakada rough mix promo, Sakada and this one).
Sampler was released with the Greek magazine Metal Invader #56 in 
June 2001. Cardboard sleeve. Estimated run of 10.000 - 12.000 copies.
From time to time various Metal Invader Warzone CDs appear on ebay.

GENIUS - Episode 1: A Human Into Dreams' World, 2002

CD Frontiers Records #FRCD112
"Genius" is a rock/metal opera trilogy that consists of a total of 33 songs
in 3 releases. It is the project of keyboardist Daniele Liverani (Empty 
Tremor, Twinspirits, Khymera, Cosmics) and drummer Dario Ciccioni 
(Hartmann, Twinspirits, Empyrios, Khymera, Concept of Main Art, Opera, 
Centrica). Each release has various different vocalists as guests. Midnight 
appeared on the song 'Terminate' of the first part. This was his last pure 
prog/power metal recording. A powerful song that is characteristic of his 
exceptional talent. Midnight also contributes his voice on the last track 
just to speak out loud a couple of lines for the story.

Unreleased material

There are two albums  that were ment to be released but unfortunately 
never made it. The first is "M2: Descending Into Darkness". Midnight 
received payments in advance from some fans in order to send them the 
very first copies. However, due to extraordinary delays he decided to 
issue "All Souls Midnight" which was actually recorded but not officially 
released  under a label or even privately on CD. It was send via email 
to those fans who have payed for "M2". A very interesting work! It
contains (never released before) acoustic versions of songs that Midnight 
wrote for Crimson Glory: 'Lost Reflection', 'Painted Skies' (with Jon Oliva 
guesting making this an amazing performance! -check our VIDEOS 
section), 'Transcendence' and 'Far Away'. There are a couple of M2 songs 
plus some Christmas songs Midnight recorded during the last days of 
Crimson Glory. Apparently those Christmas songs were long lost and 
found on a "weather beaten cassette tape" - according to an ad flyer. 
The last track is Midnight  telling the story of how 'Lost Reflection' came 
to be. You can listen to those wonderful songs on Midnight's MySpace. 
The picture on the left was ment to be the cover. 
Line up: Midnight (vocals, guitar), Matt LaPorte (guitars, programming), 
              Lee Harrison (guitars), Phil Anderson (hammered dulcimer), John 
              Zahner (keyboards)
              
Tracks :Lost Reflection, Painted Skies, Far Away, Transcendence, 
            Carnical 1, The End, Mermaids, Carnival 2, Midnight Mass, What 
            Child Is This?, Story Of Lost Reflection
