After hearing Roygbiv, (happy happy joy joy) I was somewhat baffled as
everything else is different. However, after repeated listenings, it's
rather enjoyable and interesting.

Again, I think you've got to listen to it more than once. Autechre created
about 6 hours of music for their latest (they said in Future Music a few
months ago), and I can't imagine the other 4 1/2 hours (or however much it
is) are worse than filler. I haven't heard it yet though. :-|
