Cos it's fucking rock n'roll, and I HATE rock n'roll. Rock n'roll is for old people. ;) Seriously, I like all of Carl's other work that I've heard. He's written more than his share of bonafide Techno classics. But Landcruising made my skin crawl. Guitar & Techno just don't mix, unless it's done really, really well, like on Scoobs In Columbia. Most attempts just leave me sick to my stomach (no, I'm not exaggerating), including Landcruising. Of course, your mileage may vary. I tend to be pretty reactionary with my likes & dislikes.
