searching to expand your musical horizon? are you looking for artists that specifically fit your preferences? but you're the alternative type and don't care much about popular bands and artists?

we may help. this musical recommendation engine suggests music that is specifically related to your musical interests, instead of providing you with the obvious popular bands and styles. even better, our service provides you with explanations of why bands are related, helping you on your discovery

btw, this is a tech demo of our biograph data mining technology -- originally written for biomedical knowledge discovery -- unleashed on a network of artist and musical tag relations from last.fm.

you can read the details of the tech behind this site in our paper for IDA 2011.
