This will launch Music Relator in a new window, containing 'The Rolling Stones' in the central node, with links to the first 10 related artists in the surrounding nodes (switch 'show first' to 'all' to be able to see the rest).

Double-clicking on one of the surrounding nodes will expand the graph to include further related artists.

Clicking on the 'H' hint icon above each node will display a hint window containing a summary and a link to further information (allmusic.com).

The TouchGraph applet has been tested with Mozilla 1.2, Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape 6.2 on Windows 98 and XP, and Mozilla, Chimera, Safari (recommended) and Internet Explorer 5.2 on Mac OS X 10.1.2+.

Requires Java 1.3+, which will be automatically downloaded and installed if necessary. To install JRE 1.4 manually, go here.

Currently not working on Classic Mac OS, due to lack of support for Java 1.3.
