Agreed. If you compare this stuff with, for example, John Foxx's "Metatmatic" or Bowie's "Low" the human touch makes all the difference. Great electronic musicians leave an impression but this stuff just leaves me empty. I don't think sound engineering can be classed as creative music.

Yes, let's gatekeep what can or cannot be classified as "creative".
