Another web music gadget, this time, a pandora/emusic mashup. Play Pandora tracks and the artist's emusic page is also displayed.
I hadn't tried Pandora for awhile but here are the first set of tracks on my Quick Mix station: 
- Giant Steps. John Coltrane. I like it (obviously) and Steven Rubio happens to mention the album today as he blogs about music in my birth year.
- No Cigar. Millencolin. New to me.
- Deception. Miles Davis. I like it.
- Question Everything. 8Stops7. New to me.
- The Instantaneous Mobilization of All the Resources in the BURROW and All the Forces of My Body and Soul. Melk The G6-49. New to me and I like it.
- First Hits. Don Caballero. Sorry, no.
- The Seven Samurai. Photek. Pandora played it because "it features idm influences, use of modal harmonies, intricate rhythims. a slow moving bass line and extensive studio production. Pandora's right, I like it.
- Nannou. Aphex Twin. I'm not going to show the album cover here but that picture of Richard D. James is disturbing. The music is good, though, due to its "idm influences, electronica roots, use of modal harmonies, intricate rhythms, and emphasis on instrumental performance."
- Itsuko. Richard Divine. Via my Four Tet Pandora station, this has the "idm influences, busy beats, off beat style, a unique form, and thickly layered production" you might expect from Four Tet. I'd download this if I hadn't exhausted my emusic quota last week.
- The Last Year. Stiv Bators. This track bears no relation to the previous nine ("mild rhythmic syncopation, extensive vamping, electric guitar riffs, and many other similarities identified in the music genome project").
