Midnight - Songs From The Attic, 2000This is actually the first solo release of Midnight. The recording of these
songs were paid by Rob Lankford and Tim Fredenburg who were the
executive producers. There are two different versions in existence. One
that was circulated by Midnight himself (top photo on the left - 100 copies)
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.
Line up: Midnight (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards)
Bobby Kovacs (acoustic guitar, keyboards)
Tracks :Pain, Boxes, Black Sheep, 7 Angels, Ariel & Heaven

Midnight - M, 2000A legendary release, "M" was in fact a repressing of "Songs From The Attic" with a few bonus tracks and some added effects on the main songs. Initially it was pressed to 500 copies and 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. At some point around 2006 Midnight himself re-released it on CD-R without the bonus tracks as he felt that they weren't the quality he |

Midnight - Sakada, 2005 (rough mix, unmastered copy) promoThis 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 and Phil Anderson have been advertising through myspace that
they would release this as the "original unreleased mix as it was intended".
Indeed a few CD-R copies (under 50) were sold this way.
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

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.

Sampler was released with the Greek magazine Metal Invader #56 in June 2001. Cardboard sleeve. Estimated run of 10.000 - 12.000 copies.

Crimson Glory - In Dark Places…1986 - 2000, 20105CD BOX Metal Mind #MMP 5CD BOX007 A nevertheless interesting re-release of all Crimson Glory studio albums remastered into a box of five CDs. The bonus tracks from Midnight’s era, include ‘Dream Dancer’, a re-mix of ‘Lonely’ plus the videos of ‘The Chant’ and ‘Lonely’. This box is limited to 1000 copies and includes a 60-page booklet.
