I think it doesn't really matter why or how you like music. If you
appreciate something because of its inherent beauty, or the way it
makes you feel, that's fine. If you appreciate something because you
understand the difficulties involved in making, that's fine too! There
are many reasons to like many different things.
There are many IDM artists who I feel can be appreciated for both of
those reasons. (ie: TJ and RDJ, just to name the two most obvious
ones)
