....is probably the most difficult music for musicians to play. Lots of ostinato passages (i.e. stuff that repeats over and over) at speeds that test the limits of human performance and endurance.
That doesn't mean I don't enjoy listening to it occasionally.
But I'd probably let the computers and sequencers take over the grunt work at that point.
