"Middleman" is a song by English rock band Terrorvision, which was released in June 1994 as the second single from their second studio album How to Make Friends and Influence People.
He considered the song to be a "tuneful rock record", which he felt showed the band moving "closer to the mainstream".
He noted the song as being "tastefully decorated by strings" and added, "It is not so very far removed from the style of ELO in the Seventies, with some of Jeff Lynne's vocal devices also coming into play.
"[4] Jennifer Nine of Melody Maker picked it as one of the magazine's "singles of the week" and commented, "'Middleman' boasts Gil Norton's sure use of tension and space, with upfront naked vocals suddenly ambushed by guitars.
It's also got some unabashedly Beatle-y chord progressions, ruggedly supple rock vocals, hooks for days and strings 'n' choruses.
