gem of the month

Welcome to Strange Fortune's Gem of the Month.

If you're a dedicated music fan you know what this hobby is all about. It's about the magical moment when you've found a gem.

A gem isn't a record that's merely good or adequate. What we're talking about is the one that sends you jumping about the room in exhilaration over this new discovery which has exceeded all expectations and will undoubtedly reap ongoing rewards for a long time to come.

These moments may be elusive but they happen at least once per month here at Strange Fortune headquarters. Strange Fortune's Gem of the Month attempts to document these special finds for the use of anyone who's curious enough to give it a try.

Maybe some of these Gems will have the same effect on you...
