Been playing with this music recommendation service - seems a little
like Alexlit [1] translated to the music universe. Try it out and see!

On January 6, 2000 a group of musicians and music-loving
technologists came together with the idea of creating the most
comprehensive analysis of music ever.
Together we set out to capture the essence of music at the most
fundamental level. We ended up assembling literally hundreds of
musical attributes or "genes" into a very large Music Genome. Taken
together these genes capture the unique and magical musical identity
of a song - everything from melody, harmony and rhythm, to
instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course
the rich world of singing and vocal harmony. It's not about what a
band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, or about
who buys their records - it's about what each individual song sounds like.
Over the past 6 years, we've carefully listened to the songs of over
10,000 different artists - ranging from popular to obscure - and
analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time.
This work continues each and every day as we endeavor to include all
the great new stuff coming out of studios, clubs and garages around the world.
