Innovation in timbre sounds oxymoronic to me. That doesn't mean timbre is unimportant or irrelevant to the music, it means claiming music is "breaking new ground" because of its timbre is laughable. There's no logic to it. There's no such thing as an objectively superior or inferior timbre. No such thing as a more complicated timbre. No such thing as an innovative timbre. Just different timbres and people's subjective opinions of them. Because you like electronic does not make it more innovative or cutting edge.
