I'd say that if you give such a close listen to some other idm album
you'll probably love it, too.
Unfortunately ae is kind of very special in this way since everybody give
a hard tries to understand their music. It's a pity that many other great
albums don't get as much attention.
P.S. I have listen to only couple of tracks of Quaristice so no emotions
about it, yet. It's a just a sad fereling about all this hype...
