I like the approach. Understanding definitely adds a nice dimension.
Example for me being Moiré's debut album being released on Werkdiscs. When you know that Werkdiscs = Actress aka Darren Cunningham then it makes a lot of sense.
Nice that this example was put in my head by Clint's mention of Actress. Awesome indeed.

Then I'm looking at the warp discography and there's something with a clever name next to whatever I got last, so I check that out as well... just sort of gradually push at the edges. I like doing things this way because it helps me form a more complete picture. Nothing happens in a vacuum... so when you start getting stuff based on who influenced who, who is mates with who, you get understanding as well as new music.
