More so in the last 10 years than before.
Hood was just an early explorer (only comparitively, within his own niche of electronica)
What he did is like a an old Ford Model T in a museum compared to a Koenigsegg CCX Edition (In black of course).
but it is kid stuff, really, and not a lot more. there's certainly a place for that, and it has value, but it's like comparing graffiti art to dan flavin. minimal electronic music should be appreciated for what it is, but pretentions to transcendence are misplaced, and obviously so when compared to classical minimalism.
