Dynamic mode selecting 'like' tracks?

(whilst I'm asking questions...!)

Maybe I just need a pointer to the source... does dynamic mode when it's
selecting a random track, within the user constraints, try to select a
track which fits (in some sense) the last track in playlist.

I'm noticing that on getting a Mahler symphony last in the playlist it
*seems* likely that another big symphony will be added as the next play
(I've got next track set in the dynamic settings to play the whole
work). Maybe I've just got too many big symphonies in my collection(!)
but after listening to a 70 minute work I usually want anything but
another, I can though see the logic of it being nice to get something
similar [1] - is that what the last.fm 'retrieve similar artists' (and
I've glanced over SimilarArtistsAction in lastfm) does apart from
submitting the track and enabling the Applet?  I've just tried turning
this off and still got an excess of symphonies!

Maybe (if so) there should be a 'not similar artists' option somewhere?
