they played "when acting as a wave" in conjunction with "when acting as a particle" and "nong eye gong" when i saw them this june, so i really don't know where you're getting these ideas from..
i agree it's amazing when there are bands that do push the envelope, but what you're describing is not "MUSIC". and yes, music does include replicated sounds/structures that you see in a lot of popular music. it's all still music.
Music is not bands replicating the same sound over and over again, copying each other in attempts to make the next hit. Music is bands pushing the envelope making new stuff like DEP, Meshuggah, BTBAM, and so on.
