I was fascinated by this once I learned how it worked. At the time I was learning php and wrote a script that would draw graphics based on the requesting ip address and return as gif, then used that as my avatar on a few phpbbs. Learned a lot.

ReBirth was amazing though and would love if someone brings it back. They had an iPad version that worked pretty well but apparently Roland forced them to take it down.
Hilarious song and a decent viz, thanks for sharing :]

A bit late probably, but for anyone reading this I highly recommend tracking down Davis’s interview with McKenna conducted shortly before he passed. It was probably one of the first things I heard from either and became interested for life in both.
It is strange, I've been in the planning/research stage to build exactly this tool!
I also like Luke Vibert's take on acid, more rooted in UK hardcore https://www.discogs.com/artist/253-Luke-Vibert
I did hear about the tour and that exact response, clearly this stuff was in the distant past for him.
It makes wonder who else got their hands on a 303 in the early 80s elsewhere in the world. We keep digging out great African and Middle-eastern records, there may be more to the Acid story.
Your list is also a good one, I would add this, https://youtu.be/rdfEWFYpYNM
It was amazing to hear Ten Ragas - especially as someone who grew up around Goa Trance. Considering that it’s roughly from the same time as Phuture (even predating it by some years) it is like the lost eastern counterpart to Acid. The music is the interface, the medium is the message, etc.
And you know, makes sense branding-wise. A Fire phone runs Firefox!
