Fractal animation request line

Hello, Shroomery, this is my first post here. I'm looking to get back into psychedelics—weather is already awfully nice where I live and my life has improved considerably so the time is about ripe—but I've also been fixing to expand the audience for my artwork beyond my fairly small circle of friends.
So, to get things going, I have an idea. You post recommendations for songs for my fractal video animations. If I like them, I'll queue them in the list of songs to be animated. I can do like one or two of these a day and no promises. But this should be fun.
So, without further adieu, here are my videos:
https://vimeo.com/user11156620/videos
and here's a little preview to entice the casual reader:

The videos become more technically competent as they get more recent, as you might have guessed. My first video, which was set to the Humate remix of Café del Mar, was kind of crude, not having enough detail. The video for Sim City by Susumu Hirasawa had somewhat jittery animation. My last two works are those I'm most proud of technically.
And before anyone asks why I'm not doing zooms, I've explained this a few times, so I hope this will preempt that discussion altogether. Two reasons:
- Zooms and trajectories that go far both along the x- and y-axes would eat up a lot of processor time and/or memory. (Not to mention that the detail in the fractals I am looking at tends to cluster around the x-axis.) Long story short I need one or more high-end desktop computers with decent graphic cards so I can take advantage of their SIMD capabilities, to do more intensive rendering techniques. Might even get into 3d animation one day.
- The fractals in these videos are variants of Julia sets. While they are far, far more diverse than Julia sets drawn from the Mandelbrot set, they don't appear to show infinite variation at all scales. The Mandelbrot set (there's only one, and uncountably infinitely many Julia sets) has a way of repeating itself without getting boring. As far as I can tell, these Julia variants don't have this kind of variation under magnification.
So, that said, I'll take your requests now.

Anything by Rustie. The entire Glass Swords album would be cool.

Finally, I get a bite! I thought no one would ever reply.
Re: Glass Swords, absolutely. The hard part is picking a track from that release! I want to mix it up and meet different requests so I'm not gonna be doing the whole album but I will definitely have a video set to some track up in a few hours.
Also, I'm gonna put "for sun_spots" in the title, let me know if you want it taken out.

Here's the video. Hasn't converted yet as of this posting, just fyi. My CWE failed so I'm just gonna crash now ... what a rotten day.
EDIT: I'm redoing this. It's not good enough. I'll let you know when it's done.

Personally, I think it would be cool if you went classic and rocked some pink floyd to those, or maybe the doors. Play "The End" to any one of those fractal zooms and I'll love you.
