Info:
"All Souls Midnight" - It was actually released by Midnight on a few CD-R copies (less than 100) to fill two situations. To sent it to those who have paid for "M2- Descending Into Madness" and to have something for sale at the Progpower Festival. Some copies were also sold through Midnight’s myspace page. "All Souls Midnight" is 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!, '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.

It's cool you re-shared this for newcomers, Jason! It is true though that this album (and the M-2001 album) were posted on Strapp's blog - metalfranc posted this album, and MetalMan777 posted M-2001. But those links could very well be down now, so I'm glad to see it shared again. Speaking of metalfranc, whatever happened to him, haven't heard from him in a while. He posted just tons of french obscure jewels in the past - I hope he's doing well!

[Strappado]

metalfranc seem to do well, the band he's managing got signed and will be releasing their debut album in April =).

I think he got tired of ripping and uploading as much as he did..
whatever the case was, I will always be grateful for the time he spent here!.
Maybe he find his way back someday

[jasonkont]

Sorry guys my mistake! Before uploading it I checked strapp's blog by clicking ... 'bands', ... then ... 'Midnight' and 'Midnight (US)' and I saw 'V/A - Metal Meltdown Vol. 4 [Compilation] (1989)' which contains a Seattle group called Midnight. I didn't scroll down so I missed them. You are also right one link there is invalid. I will post there the new link and I will delete this two posts!

[Strappado]

You can keep these posts jasonknot, no need to remove =).

[witchcross]

yes, I was very happy to see the posts here, I hope every post at the old blog can end up here, updated. Many old links don't work anymore, especially with megaupload, multiupload debacles. So huge thanks to jason for posting them here.
Hail Midnight, R.I.P.

I got the CD recently via Slaney Records. They still have some CDs left at a normal price. There are now 13 songs on the album. So if you're interested go get one. It's got wonderful artwork as well!

Many thanks - I am actually very lucky enough to have this CD sent to me by Midnight along with a copy of a Kerrang cover featuring Midnight which he signed for me. I treasure this as he was a sheer genius. Many thanks for putting this up as it saves me having to open the sealed CD package. :-)
