Musician visualisations are great for finding links to artists you had never heard of and more often than not they are just as brilliant as the band, singer you originally searched if not better.

I like that it shows the musicians a whole in one look, terrain. It also has this great zoom in the top left to go into further depth like the first image. It still has a
search engine to search musicians individually. Not sure who decided what musicians go on to the map.
