MusicPlasma: a visual music search

musicplasma has a lot of interesting potential. You enter a musician or band into the search and you get a visual result showing similar bands arranged by how alike they are and showing visual links based on style and relative popularity. Not sure how music is judged to be similar, or how popularity is calculated. I've already found a handful of bands that I need to check out. And the application is real eye-candy and very configurable. Recommended!

I LOVE musicplasma. Haven't used it in about a month, but it's a really great way of finding new music.

The only thing is that the gui cuts off on the left-hand side of my browser. This occurs in both IE and Mozilla.

Regardless, it's a fantastic upgrade from predecessors like Music Buddha or similars where you had/have to answer a bunch of questions to find related music.
