Music visualizer with beat visualization

[alvevind]

I am looking for a beat visualizer (for lack of a better word) to use full screen when playing music on my computer.

What do I mean by that?

I know there are a lot of visualizers out there that create colored swirls and spectrum analyzers and stuff based on the waveform of the music being played (e.g. Goom). But they do not really visualize the music to any great extent. If you play Mozart or if you play Chemical Brothers it does not do all that much of a difference visually.

What I want is a visualizer that reflects the music to some degree, and in particular the main beat. If there is a strong thumping beat I want that to be reflected on the screen at the same time as the beat plays through the speaker.

Here is a simple example illustrating what I mean (forward to 1:00):

Please note that it is not the simplicity in the video I am looking for, it was just that this video did well in illustrating the main principle. If possible I would like to have swirls and smooth animations also (like Goom) but the most important thing is that it should reflect the music in a more direct way and be perfectly synchronized with the beat.

Any suggestions for a music player or plugin?

(If there is not any such thing for Linux is there perhaps some Windows program that does it and works with Wine?)

Bump?

the only thing i can think of is projectm -- it is a Milkdrop compatible visualizer. http://projectm.sourceforge.net/
