The actual Spectrum out provides a 12-band (I think) spectrum... you can use a structure index to get access to access those values, and get more specificity. At that point, you may want to use a smooth patch to get the effect of an audio limiter/compressor, and to keep your image looking "non-spastic".
In addition to this, there is a Kineme Audio plugin that provides even more specific frequency info. Again, you will likely want to be smoothing the resulting data until your visuals start "pumping" to the music. I don't know if you have experience with audio compression, but it would be similar to setting up a compressor so that you get that "breathing" sound (except that we're talking numbers here, not sound). Then your "cubes" (or whatever) will start looking like they're locked to the music.
