Genius Trial
So, Starting with the first track to come up in a random shuffle of my iTunes library, I generated one of the “Genius” playlists from the new iTunes.
The dividing line between genius and insanity has never been so close. The results. These are the tunes that iTunes thinks belong together:
- Here Comes The Flood — The Divine Comedy

- Heroes And Villains — The Beach Boys

- Songs of Love — Ben Folds
- All mine (Portishead cover) — The Divine Comedy
- Substitute — The Who
- Sorted for E’s & Wizz — Pulp

Amongst my wide and diverse music collection, I listen to a lot of breakbeat and having tried ‘Genius’ with a couple of random, obscure tracks, I found it works quite well. Its not perfect but it didnt input any completely unrelated music into the mix. I was quite impressed.

First of all, nice Playlist. Second, I have used Genius and it works fairly well. Not perfect, but nothing is :)
