Name: Midilife Crisis
Duration: P00H04M55S
Description: This was the title cut from Midiboy's first album. The title being a play on words of Mid Life crisis, of course. It's about real people being replaced by electronic instruments and the consequences of it happening. Of course, the irony of it is, I'm an electronic musician. Everything you hear is vocals and keyboards. Guitars, drums, bass, etc. All keyboards.

lyrics

Midilife Crisis

Jimmy was a drummer man
In a rock and rollin’ band
One night Jimmy went to bed
Scary dreams they filled his head
Seems his job had been replaced
Drum machines take little space
One less person to be paid
Perfect rhythm always played

He’s going through a
Midi-Life Crisis
He’s been put into
A stasis
Midi-Life Crisis

Dennis was a guitar man
In a hard, hard rockin’ band
One night Denny went to a gig
Was replaced by a keyboard rig
Seems that people would rather dance
To hip-hop music and techno trance
Programmed by computer geeks
Performed by purple, spiked-hair freaks

Gregg he is a keyboard man
Programs music that is canned
People dance and people sing
They really dig this techno thing
Computer virus ate his song
How could this have gone so wrong?
Now he cannot play tonight
Because his computer took a BYTE!

Monochrome
by Scandroid

This album has some serious 80's love going on and is a side project of Klayton, the genius behind Celldweller and Circle Of Dust. Midiboy

In Scarlet & Vile (Special Edition)
by The Echoing Green

This is one of the first synthpop bands I ever got into, and this album is by far their best album and among my favorite synthpop albums of all time. Highly recommend this one! Midiboy

Alpha and Omega (1999)
by Azimuth A.D.

This album right here....so good. It has a 70s vibe to it and yet has a slight electronic folk sound as well, but yet also modern. I love the singer's voice. She's so easy to listen to! Midiboy

Fans of hard rock I think will really appreciate this album. It has a familiar sound that one would swore they've heard while listening to the radio. But yet the message and the presentation I would argue are unique. I also love the renditions of "Agnus Dei" and "Turn your eyes." The arrangements are beautiful. Some parts of this album even gave me some "Phil Collins" vibes. This album does not shy away from its Gospel message which I do respect. I highly recommend giving it a listen! josiah05
