the main flaw in your reasoning which is a bit idol worshiping in my opinion is why didn't we hear more of that sound when they played live in the late 80's, early 90's, or eve mid 90's? They are obviously influenced by todays dance trends, I don't see their music as being really that original, they were pioneers in a natural evolution of electronic music 30 years ago, when drum machines started to make the scene it wasn't hard to make very similar sounding music. The man machine concept = mechanical sounding drum machines = synthesizers.
