Thats a nice way of saying the system is grasping for something similar in our library and not finding anything spot on.<BR/><BR/>You will understand what comes back though, sparse guitar and vocals for sparse guitar and vocal tracks but it would be nice to capture that edginess.<BR/><BR/>Give it a go and let us know what you find.<BR/><BR/>I found some artists you may like from my own playing around, try Mazzy Star and Jasmine Star.<BR/><BR/>I have probably mentioned before that we are attempting to allow users to tease out what it is specifically (or vaguely) they like about a particular track. In our Facebook app that we hope to roll out soon we are trying to make that easier so you could for example push your personal recommendations to be heavier on "edginess". We will see how that goes but I feel your pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889894315257595136.post-9845812821926388852007-09-11T14:02:00.000+01:002007-09-11T14:02:00.000+01:00Another interesting site that you might want to ch...Another interesting site that you might want to check out is this here: <BR/><A HREF="http://labs.demuxdigital.com/iphone/" REL="nofollow">http://labs.demuxdigital.com/iphone/</A><BR/><BR/>By putting Le Volume Courbe into the search window, it finds other free range MP3s based on the Last.FM Similar Artists (Man, I'm getting some kind of vertigo between this post and Paul's recent "Similar Artist Recommendations" post).<BR/><BR/>It is currently formatted to look slick on an iPhone, but you can still interface with it in a browser.<BR/><BR/>[Full disclosure: this was built by an associate of mine, Dan Trenz]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889894315257595136.post-59155413314935805322007-09-10T19:39:00.000+01:002007-09-10T19:39:00.000+01:00Oscar, thanks for the pointer.

Maybe because I tend to use it more for rather undirected discoveries, i.e. if I don't know what I'm looking for (or when I'm looking for an easy way to download a rare MP3). Anyway, so I tried a search for Le Volume Courbe and read a few interesting blog posts about it, but the few related artists I saw didn't really seem to be "more of the same".Eliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133166115774380054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889894315257595136.post-14779437610398620542007-09-10T18:46:00.000+01:002007-09-10T18:46:00.000+01:00Elias, strange that you didnt try at hypem :-)Ther...Elias, strange that you didnt try at <A HREF="http://hypem.com/search/Le%20Volume%20Courbe" REL="nofollow">hypem</A> :-)<BR/><BR/>There are not lots of entries, but you can read a couple of interesting posts about them.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, you can check some of the other music in the same post, and see whether these fit your needs...<BR/><BR/>Cheers, OscarFoafing your musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644708039572319135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889894315257595136.post-30209682326226385902007-09-10T16:05:00.000+01:002007-09-10T16:05:00.000+01:00Here's a list generated by one of our internal rec...Here's a list generated by one of our internal recommenders for this artist.
