I think it's fair to compare this track to techno, because that what it tries to sound like. If you listen to some cutting edge techno/minimal music you will easily find more atmospheric, nuanced and better produced songs than this. Just my opinion.
Not true. I had no idea who produced it when I heard it in the movie, and I liked it so much I played the whole album on repeat for days while working (coding).

C'mon, you can't leave us hanging. Throw a few recommendations here!
I listen to techno but I usually don't like minimal, I find it too boring (prefer old school psy trance and goa myself, that should tell you direction I lean to). I really liked the SN soundtrack tho.

What is minimal about it? Clearly there are quite a number of layered tracks combining synth and tradition instruments intended for a soundtrack to a movie. The only thing techno about it is the beat.
