It's interesting that this beatmatched recombination idea has sparked a
discussion on whether *any* combination or *any* beatmatching is good /
necessary / appropriate.

Interesting topic. Is it because only small elements/one track out of a
multi-track tune that the message (our invested emotion in the track?) gets
lost in the translation?
Compare/contrast this with turntablists who cut-up records. The whole unit
of the song is there if only for a few seconds. We can recognize the
entire tune based on those few seconds and it means something to us.
Reminds me of the old game show "Name that Tune" where people got down to
minuscule fragments of songs and could name the titles (granted quite a
number were crazy wild guesses).
What Richie does on CE is pulls apart all of our references and then asks
us to have, or whether we have, the same vested interest in those elements.
I can imagine that's why CE doesn't do it for some.
