MusicMesh - a music exploration tool
MusicMesh is a web-based music exploration tool. With MusicMesh you can browse
through a dynamically generated graphs of albums that are similar to
your seed album. You can listen to tracks and watch videos as you
browse. MusicMesh is quite an effective mashup of last.fm similarity
data, Amazon data, Wikipedia bios and YouTube.
MusicMesh
tries to really hard to find the right data from the various sources,
but sometimes it messes up. Prog-rockers Emerson, Lake and Palmer are
somehow connected to R&B singer Jully Black. The artist bio
for the band 'yes' is the dictionary definition for the word of
affirmation, lots of the videos are amateur covers, or tribute slide
shows, a search for 'Björk' yields B.J. Thomas (eek!)
Still, despite its flaws, MusicMesh is fun to play with and an interesting way to explore for new music.
