I could pick up other quotes from above messages, but lets use this:

Or does it simply remain in the way the artist approaches the subject? Research can be explicit or it can simply change the way the artist looks at a particular theme.
I would like to think, material itself has some qualities. Someones research (or whatever you'd like to call it, I think this is suitable in contect of ReSearch industrial culture handbook, hah..) may lead that there is ability to put something subtle there. Be it sound, lyrics, artwork. To express something delicate and detailed, which is beyond just "whatever", may result something unusual. Lets say someone with sole purpose of creating offensive power electronics, it may be as simple as using the first Hitler sample and first synth oscillation and yelling something. Might work out fine, who knows, but it mostly likely is not Les Joyaux De La Princesse level piece of work. Where speeches are not whatever, old vintage songs or crackling pre-vinyl audio sources, they all had to be found. One had to know they exists, where to get, taste and vision how to put together piece of work. Someone might just sigh in disbelief that what the hell, lame repetitive keyboard melody and some sort of collaborator talking whatever.
Or in other hand something like Militia in some of their releases. Con-Dom, connecting dots, putting together pieces from various things to create something new. All these kind of obvious examples of artists everybody probably knows.
It seems to be that this research was their path for intesting things and it opens door for listeners as well.
None what said, rules out that one could simply focus on purely "sonic research".
