prove me wrong on this, but I think most of us here are more towards the "dance" side of the spectrum than the ambient side.I always figured his ambient side was lesser known because of the music videos for Rubber Johnny and Come to Daddy. Huh.
His entire album Drukqs is kind of a mixture of melodic and dance tunes. Taking Control and afx237 v7 are far from ambient. Most of his music is actually more like that. I don't really know if you'd consider this 'dance' music, but I'd certainly dispute that it's more what you're leaning towards. Plus, even his wikipedia page categorizes him as "intelligent dance music" (whatever the forget that really means).
