One of the things I always appreciated and loved about the IDM genre is that a good portion of the 'producers' out there are basically geeks with computers and a few boxen. I liked the idea that people were out there with no musical background, perhaps not even the ability to play any instrument, yet still they were pumping out this wonderfully different kind of music.

Though it might be more accurate to say, "most IDM producers aren't
aware of it WHEN they make a key change." People modulate all the time,
without really knowing what that means. And it becomes a pretty blurry
concept in the folk/pop tradition of the last 50 years, which is based
around changing guitar chords in sometimes arbitrary ways.

Perhaps people need to try and drag some other tools out of the shed. Hell
Squarepusher's reputation for innovation rests entirely on two fairly simple
things -- he throws triplets into his breaks, and he can play an actual
instrument.
