MIDNIGHT CLEAR is a special, even unusual album; a holiday album – in the widest sense. Some people may ask ‚Vollenweider is doing a Christmas album?’ He is known for to be a very free spirit when it comes to religion as well as politics. Andreas explains:

„Although I opened our musical world for the first time to traditional and „external“ musical elements, this album is dedicated to the message of love, peace, hope and compassion, in the very same way as all my previous works are. For thousands of years, in all the cultures of the world, this message, wherever it came from, has been the most powerful source of strength and motivation to lay hands on the earth and do our part, in the liberation of the good in ourselves. As we all realize these days, this struggle has not lost anything of its profound relevance.
