By volume 5 of the Mutant Pop series I was starting to theme them, becoming more like my sets at the time, with a beginning and end and themes between the tracks. As the title says this volume covers the rise of glitch, the mashup originators started branching out towards original tracks and remixing. Cutups closer to the spirit of Negativland also started popped up, usually of a political or humorous sort. (At one DJ occasion Kirk, who gave me Cassetteboy's Parker Tapes, banned me from playing Fly Me To New York).
