That advice would be to put it in some kind of context. A solo'd track with no reference to the other tracks that will comprise the presentation of the song is entirely worthless... there needs to be a contextual refrerence.

It's a neat excercize... I've done them before and if you're in the room, listening to the material live and in some form of context to what YOU are trying to achieve then these sort of tests have great relevance and merit... if they're just hanging in space with no context then you have less than zero idea of which [if any] of the textures will be relevant to any particular presenation.
