Music Discovery

Professional reviews, genre family trees and similar-artist chains inherited from the print era, which is how you get from one band to fifty.

Filter by genre, format and city to find records sold directly by the people who made them, with full streams before you buy anything.

The catalogue of every physical release ever pressed, down to matrix numbers and pressing variants, plus what your copy is worth.

Plays tracks that nobody has ever streamed, not once. The play counter is the whole point, and the music is exactly as advertised.

Properly licensed free downloads curated by radio stations, which is how you stop losing your videos to copyright claims.

Name three bands you like, then answer yes or no to its guesses until it works out what you are actually in the mood for.

Two decades of listening data turned into recommendations, similar-artist chains and neighbours with suspiciously identical taste.

Thousands of taper-recorded live concerts released with the bands' blessing, going back to the reel-to-reel era and free to stream.

Type a band and get a cloud of other bands, positioned by how often listeners like both. Crude, ancient and still weirdly effective.

The open music encyclopedia much of the industry quietly relies on, editable by anybody and free of any label's marketing department.

The obsessive's music database, where every release is rated, charted and argued over by people with extremely firm opinions.

Aggregates everything the music blogs posted today into one stream, which is how people found new records before playlists took over.

Which record a sample came from, who covered whom and where that drum break originally lived, with the two tracks played side by side.
