Retrospect

Every song has a sky.

Retrospect reads your Last.fm history and shows you what the sky was doing the first time you played each song: the planets, the Moon, solar storms, eclipses and asteroids. Then it tells you, honestly, whether any of it moved you.

Public Last.fm profiles only. A big history takes a few minutes the first time.
