I recently made a fusion trance remix on A Momentary Lapse Of Reason with the idea in mind to mix as most as possible all the samples from all the songs of the album.
I once observed that mixing samples from various sources (inside the same song (Atom Heart Mother)), even when they seem not mixable with others, may lead to interesting or even "trancey" results. For example, the bass line may sound different in another context, and still consistent (harmonically speaking).
Moreover, mixing samples with rich harmonic content may also be ok at the end. When everything is mixed, many freqency ranges overlap each other. This is why I think it's not necessary having always perfect sound for each track.
Now, with perspective back in mind, I see that DJ Shadow Entroducing (please forgive this seminal reference) was a bit like this: some samples didn't seem appropriate with others, but finally ended very good mixed together.
Now, I produced this trance remix wich consists of many samples from AMLOR but that doesn't sound really like any song in the album. It's also like DJ Shadow: making new things with old things.
