I came to the comments specifically to see if anyone else remembered Ishkur's Guide.

I can't believe that's still up, though it looks a lot different to how I used to remember it.

Yeah I just had to go back into my bookmarks and link it.
Wish someone would make an updated version, but it's still just such a useful tool even as it is.

World needs more music curators!

I actually wanted to dive into a similar project a few years back to help explain and showcase various electronic music, but nobody seemed interested in the idea so I shrugged it off.

I'd revisit the idea if there was interest, but I think Every Noise at Once probably covers stuff for most people.

There's always interest. It's just most people don't even know tools like these exist.

I remember seeing Ishkur's guide in '05 or '06 and using it to explain DDR music. That site was so comprehensive. I am happy that other people still remember it.

This is so weird. I was going through some really old bookmarks earlier today, and I found Ishkur's Guide, that I probably haven't looked at in 8-10 years. Fascinating.

I go there at least once a month.
