Notes:
Right now the recommendations that the system makes are not
nearly as accurate as they will be in a month or so. Notice
the Wt. (weight) column--a recording that the system
highly recommends to you would have a weight of 300 or more.
Items weighted around 30 or so may be recordings that you
would enjoy, but it really is not a strong recommendation.
The system will improve each week, try it again soon!

[This is John again: If 30 is "not a strong recommendation" I can hardly
give weight to any of the responses I got. I've heard three of the albums
in the response list: "Universal Mother" I dislike as a whole but think is
worth listening to, "Entertainment" is one of my all-time favorites, and
"Sleeps with Angels" was interesting but ultimately disappointing, and I
traded it in for something else. I was pretty impressed that the program
didn't choke on my input.]
