It's such an idiosyncratic sound/style that I think many, many listeners will react similarly. Definitely an acquired taste
It's also got next to nothing to do with Jazz and whilst repetition is important I hear less direct influence from the Minimalists, as suggested above, but more from Techno and other dance musics - see the work of Moritz von Oswald, Alva Noto et al.
Live, it's hypnotic (or probably repetitively boring, depending on the listener!) and impressive that it's all done without samples/tapes etc
