I was so not planning to do this!
But you might have noticed.
It took me 6 weeks to watch a 47 minute YT Documentary, this one:
Over those six weeks you must have heard the influence in my playlists, but today I finished the series and found....
I found something unbelievable, I found a Culture Club song that actually is awesome, a true Midnight Gem.
Culture Club - Victims
Not truly New. Neither Romantic. Still, the Goth Rock of The Cure got big in the New Romantic Era and honestly it fits perfectly.
The Cure - The Same Deep Water As You
Something in that Cure song sounded like a slightly slower hook as the hook in this Classic. Nothing Romantic, just freaking Saxy.
Candy Dulfer and A Stewart - Lilly was here
To keep on tripping I found something fitting, something new, something romantic, but not New Romantic as the song is so 2022.
New Constellations - Hot Blooded
Now Back To The Order Of The Day, The New "Romantic" Order. Definitely coming from that New Romantic Scene and one of my favorite bands in the genre.
New Order - True Faith
The next song is so new, it does not even exist. It´s from 2049 and sounds like a futuristic version of a New Romantic like song.
The Smiths - This Charming Man
It took ages for Britain to come up with a new sound, a sound that would get just as big as those New Romantics. It took way over 6 weeks but years later Britain gave Birth to the Bristol Sound.
Massive Attack - Angel
A New Romantic Song in a Not Romantic version sounds so not New Romantic, it sounds almost Angelic.
Lotte Kestner - True Faith (New Order cover)
Now I love to end a set with a Bang, with a song that drives the trip home. This next song drives the trip far from home, this song drives the trip to heaven, home to Dolores.
Angelo Badalamenti & Dolores O'Riordan - Angels go to Heaven
Encore
I couldn´t do it, I could not close the show with that heavenly whisper. Especially not after finding this Gem in 
Nero - In The Past
Youtube Playlist

Riddle Me This
Guess What, My Riddle was solved by..... drum ruffles 
What the fluff is midnight gems?
Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that´s the place where midnight gems are found.
My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.
Who the fluff am I?
Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it´s time to finally take it to the streets.
Hope you enjoyed this well-known wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.
