Audio Surf 81

Does anyone here play Audiosurf? For those of you who don't know it, it's a music game (It's $10, and on Steam). In it you control a little space ship and have to catch coloured blocks, that's about as simple as I can describe it. The interesting part is that it has no pre-defined levels or music, it takes an MP3 of your choice and generates a level from it.

You can see someone playing Bohemian Rhapsody here, and there are loads of other gameplay videos on youtube as well.

I have a few small annoyances, like the user interface in general (it's a bit rough), and no way to select MP3s other than browsing through directories. But I'm pretty impressed by the level generator, it's quick and makes tracks that really go well with the music.

They seem to do some deals with musicians/lables, so perhaps you could get in touch with them, Brad? See if you could get them to throw in Out Of It as free content when the new album comes out (perhaps the new album as well)?

Anyway, who here has the game already? Recommend some good tracks to play! I played through the whole Out Of It + Fake It, the faster songs including Fake It were really fun to play.
