of COURSE theres a pretentious element to it, like alot of experimental music... the whole idea behind it is to use music and ideas that have never been used before.
But who cares? if you're as innovative as Sunn O))) & Boris (and although its hard to tell on record, these guys are very talented) then you're allowed to be pretentious IMO!
The appeal is the atmosphere.. the fact that this music can make you feel like your floating in space and trapped inside a dark vibrating box at the same time.
