Very good. That he focuses on prerecorded loops is interesting to me, 
since it naturally deals with questions about quotation and 
appropriation. I might dispute his focus on Stravinsky as the first 
significant sampling artists, since this practice was well 
established during the Baroque and earlier (parody mass, quodlibet, 
etc.).
