"Grampus", from his review of "The Midnite Sound of the Milky Way", CD  [excerpt] :

Dean Carter and Arlie Miller bought a local townhouse in Danville, Illinois which they transformed into a makeshift recording studio with different instrumentalists confined to individual bedrooms and broken down cardboard refrigerator boxes battened to the walls to assist with the acoustics.   The studio was named The Midnite Sound to reflect the time of day when most recordings took place.   Also formed around the same time was Milky Way Records.   The record label only lasted for around eighteen months before folding under a cease and desist order issued by the company manufacturing Milky Way chocolate bars (you can't make this stuff up!).
