I think he is a virtuoso for creating these albums.

He also produced albums for David Bowie, U2, Roxy Music, Robert Fripp, Genesis, King Crimson, Jon Hassel, Harold Budd, and quite a few more. As far as I can tell, he started deep techno and set the pace for ambiance.

Yes, he is a virtuoso by many means.
Disagree. Virtuoso has nothing to do with inventiveness. The way he manipulates studio production is good, not groundbreaking. Brian Eno is a better musician than a lot of virtuosos I'd take him over Dream Theater any day, but really, no he's not a virtuoso.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent".

Al Pacino = God
