The Midnight is the third EP released by electronica duo Lemon Jelly, according to the insert of Lemonjelly.ky, on 17 July 2000. It was limited to 1,000 10-inch (25-centimetre) copies, the first 200 of which featured hand screen-printed sleeves. The tracks from the EP were later incorporated for more accessible listening into the critically acclaimed Lemonjelly.ky album. The cover had silver foil stamped on the inner sleeve and die-cut holes in the outer sleeve so when the record was pulled out of its sleeve, the stars twinkled in the night sky.[1]
