Crappola!

Better make that a Top Eleven. Or, if you must, kick out Other Music. How
could I possibly forget?? What may be the best album of all?

Wendy Carlos
Beauty in the Beast

Soon to be re-released.

This list, by the way, includes only "deliberately microtonal" albums!

No indeed! Yes, I generated my tables with computer programs. Here's
the core algorithm for determining the consistency level for a specific
ET and limit (from an old post of mine):

consistency_level(ET_number, limit):
max <- 0
min <- 0
FOR loop <- 3 TO limit BY 2
exact_steps <- ET_number * log2(loop)
error <- exact_steps - round(exact_steps)
IF error > max THEN
max <- err
ELSEIF error < min THEN
min <- err
ENDIF
ENDFOR
RETURN integer_part(0.5 / (max - min))
