That pretty much covers it for me to Mirsha....well said :)

A track has to "take you" and that means that the track has to be written with that intent. Its a difficult thing to explain as it does border on that "sci-fi geekery" that SS mentioned as well as that magical elemental part of musicianship.

I like techno that does ask "make of it what you will" and that is why it is not so well liked by the masses coz most peeps like to be told like Rock/Pop does in simple terms. (Not trying to sound condascending).

It is all about the drums and rhythm for me too. Thats why it will do your head in, its scientific & spiritual fact that reiterative rhythms change your psyche. I love that :)
