I prefer some of their earlier tech/rave stuff, even some that's a little house like. Not a huge fan, but they did push the envelope somewhat in the early years, and made some classic rave tunes.
Not really a big rave fan. I prefer electronica: Chemical Brothers, Oskar, even late Radiohead, which I consider to fall more in to the electronic category than Indie.

P.S. What is it you know about music that tells you you should hate it?
Well, I am classically trained, so I instinctively seek patterns of melody and development in music. While you could argue that electronic music contains pattern elements, they are generally looped over and over again, which leaves little room for development.
I can forgive this, however, when sounds and rhythms are used intelligently, which provides enough interest for me to listen to the music despite it not having a great deal of development, or even melody.
My favourite track by far on this album is Climbatize. It is very close to the kind of music I [attempt to] compose, and sends shivers down my spine :-)
