I am keeping todays short and sweet.

Under Midnight was a 90’s industrial act in the Circle of Dust/Nine Inch Nails (Pretty Hate Machine Era) brand.  Made up of db Allen and Frankie (actually Mark Robertson and Ceasar Kalinowski), the band released only two CD’s.  Both were “concept albums”.  I think what I noticed most about their songs was the use of samples.  Many came from sci-fi films such as Robocop or the Alien franchise.

The songs were definitely pop-industrial and I considered their Debut, Under Midnight a great disc.  In fact, i still like to listen to it.  Same goes for the follow-up Void.  They had a cool electronic vibe, good use of samples and fairly interesting lyrics.  Not quite as heady as last week’s choice (Believer), but clearly in the vein of cyber-punk fiction.  I would say they are a crew that made Christian Music that does not suck.
