Basic Search
Click on my logo (menu top left) to start the search engine: analyze ‘on the surface’ first. E. g. type any artist or genre which comes into your mind, set multiple filters and check the output list. Then refine your next search by looking for similar items e.g. of the same year (or decade from the ‘Year’ pull-down menu) or genre. Dig deeper and find related underground tracks, my favorites and milestones.
