This is a pretty nifty app to show the connections, but obviously the database is not complete or maybe flawed. Obviously P-Funk and James Brown are going to be at the top of the list, but I found only a few listings for any Kraftwerk albums, hardly any sources or destinations for the Art of Noise, and absolutely nothing for Pop Will Eat Itself, all seminal sampling artists, from both a source and destination perspective.

Also it appears that artists like Puff Daddy and Fatboy Slim are doing a much better job of mangling their samples to avoid royalty payments.

I'd like a mode where you can show all the lines simultaneously, so see what eras are most sampled from and to.
