I've never seen the aforementioned Alan Parsons video, but my nomination for
all time best computer generated rock video of that period would have to be
The Rolling Stones 'hard woman' video. This came out not long after Dire
Straits did 'Money for Nothing' and was _far_ superior technically (in spite
of this, the dire straits video got all the attention).'Hard Woman' had all
sorts of nice texture mapped raytracing in it - I'd really love to get more
info on the people who did (and of course _what_ they did it on).

Meanwhile I'll keep on keeping on, hoping that this new Todd Rundgren
video makes it out here to the edge of the world, sooner rather than later..
