musicplasma is a music visual search engine. The closer the artists are, musically speaking, the closer to each other they will be displayed on the screen. Each artist consists of a circle, or "halo", the larger it is, the more popular they are- along with vectors to similar artists, etc.
The data is very similar to also-bought relations from Amazon, although for the limited searches I did, if anything there were a bit fewer relations. Its an appealing way of sorting through the Artists though, especially if you want to take several hops around while visually preserving the connection from where you started.
If you find something you want to buy, be sure to click on the album cover on the left so they get the referral points from Amazon.
