Nope, Autechre's listing is unsullied by the likes of Jean Michel Jarre --
though he's not far off as an influence. ;>
Anyway, we're also working on different kinds of links: instead of just
Similar Artists, the site could eventually offer more abstract kinds of
soundalikes (the "See Also" column on the right-hand side is a bit of a
preview to this). Instead of showing just what we here pick as being
similar to Artist A, it would use more abstract categories to show links we
wouldn't have thought of. (Which explains why Art Ensemble of Chicago and
the Boredoms show up on several of Autechre's review pages.)

Doesn't AllMusic do something like this already? They have a 'see also'
section for each artist (although I think Jean Michel Jarre is there in
Autechre's listing, ahem......) and music maps, which do a pretty good
job of categorizing genres while realising that each one doesn't exist
in a vacuum.
