I've heard the same, it doesn't seem like there's all that much in 
his earlier work (the pre-MSP period) that couldn't be done with 
creative programming of commercial synths and samplers. I think 
there's a tendency among a lot of the British electronic guys (and a 
few of the Americans I've met) to overly mystify what they do, as if 
they're afraid that someone else buying the same box will steal their 
gig.
