Does anyone else remember Jeff Minter's virtual light machine (VLM) and other early experimental digital interactive light shows?

Didn't have an Atari Jaguar CD myself, but I did have a friend with one, and have fond memories playing with the Virtual Light Machine. Never knew anyone with a Nuon so never got to play with the VLM-2 though.

Was always comparatively disappointed with subsequent music visualisation like MilkDrop and Geiss on Winamp to be honest - they always seemed to be just doing their own thing without as much reference to the music, and of course without the interactivity you were just watching rather than playing (or consuming rather than creating).
