MIDNIGHT SUN were a jazz-rock/fusion group from Denmark, whose style is influenced by such acts as TRAFFIC, BURNIN' RED IVANHOE, and later on, BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS. They first started out as RAINBOW BAND, but soon had to change their name, after it was found that a Canadian group had already taken it. They released four studio albums during their career, the first two or three probably being the more famous. Their albums are also of serious value to collectors and were all designed by the famous Roger Dean.

This first album by Midnight Sun is in fact the 2nd and re-recorded version of an album by Rainbow Band. After first recording their debut in 1970, Rainbow Band re-recorded the entire album in their new line-up with vocalist Allen Mortensen in 1971. After being forced to change their name, the same line-up re-released the album again using their new name.
Their entire discography is worth searching out, but "Midnight Sun" and "Walking Circles" are the two that are of the most interest.
Highly recommended for jazz-rock/fusion fans (progarchives.com)
