Can someone recommend software to create music automatically?

I know there has got to be some software out there... that will automatically make some original music.

I remember about 5 years ago... Microsoft has some... but I forgot what it was called... maybe Music Publisher?

Can someone recommend something?

Just something that creates some beats.../loops/samps

Almost automatically?

thanks

Sonic Fire is the closest thing I can think of.

The following should be a decent independent review of it: http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/review_sonicfire_pro_3_douglas.html

You search the library for something that is along the lines of what you want. Then you edit the music based on cell thingamabobbers, which are like 4-beat pieces you can use to score something to video. That's what I remember of a demo I saw for it.

ACID is another
