Midnight Explosion is the third and final album by Austrian singer Penny McLean, released in 1978. The album was not a success, and its only single did not chart. At the time Penny reunited with Ramona & Rhonda for one final Silver Convention single, 1979's "Café Au Lait / Rollermania" which was also a flop. After the album she recorded five more singles, all without success, also released were three compilation albums. She laid the music behind and launched herself as an author, writing about esoteric subjects with several best-selling books to her credit. The album received favorable reviews, with Jason Kantof giving 4.5 stars out of 5. An unofficial CD was released in Russia.
