Idiot Savant : Any Thoughts?

I noticed this album on Boomkat and I must admit, I'm liking some of the samples.

"it of a mystery, this: a killer full length album presumably from a Danish source - Bronshoj Sound Works (and one track's called 'Copenhagen' although that might be a pickled red herring, if you pardon the pun) - and sounding uncannily like some amalgam of Burial, James Blake and Mount Kimbie. I honestly don't think we need say much more, check the samples and get impressed. Highly Recommended. "
This can be taken quite literally: I recognise blatant sampling of Burial's "Fostercare" and "Distant Lights" as well as vocals from a famous "weird" singer most of you will recognise. I mean, I like some of the tunes and I suppose the artists has/have done enough on his/her/their own to make the music somewhat stand out. But how far can you take this? I mean, the practice of sampling other tracks is rampant in the history of electronic music. And their seems to be a bit of resurgence (Kingdom did it on the Jacques Greene remix with Plasticman's "Spaztik" for example...)...any thoughts?
