I am not particularly interested in bip bop boop kind of music, but this is pretty fun. Its nice and ambient and melodic, and isn't ridiculously electronic, I might buy this, not as a regular listening kind of thing, but I can think of a few situations where it would do well to have this spinning in my player.

Although I am a little curious as to how electronic musicians come up with names for the songs when they are lacking a lyrical theme with which to label them.

I've always had the same question for those instrumental-type rock groups.

I think some songs just have a theme to them even without lyrics. There are several parts in "The Electricity in Your House Wants to Sing" that sound like a little bird singing. Mogwai's "Hunted by a Freak" is the same way.

I normally just make them up on the spot. Or I will write the title first and make music to evoke it. Sometimes the title will talk about the mood of the song ('Oceanus Procellarum' is the proper name for the Ocean of Storms on the moon, the track is bleak and spacey therefore etc.) sometimes it will be a literary or other reference I have collected which I either write the track to fit, or I think fits in with the track after its finished for one reason or another (The song 'His Hair Was of a Lustrous Black' is all about Frankenstein, and is a line from the description of the monster in the original, 'Starless and Bible Black' is a line from Under Milk Wood (not a King Crimson reference), 'What Did the Romans Ever Do For Us?'...well, you know). Other shit (ie. 'Forensic Musicology', 'Huxley Orwell Overdrive') are just stupid puns or shit I make up.
