Because the records are by and large created to be mixed, they never sound right when listened to in a standard album format. It's the same reason why House and Techno has never really produced a good album and why those that've got closest tend not to follow the standard format. Whole sections of the average Techno, House and Jungle record are there for functional rather than strictly musical reasons (as such) and those sections really don't offer much as a purely listening experience.
