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). Eminem and Missy were still triumphant, but also joined by Electric Six's Gay Bar which was started by a Remix XFM competition. Like the legendary Without Me Boomselection remix competition - which GHP's original version of A Slim McShady was part of, his first bootleg no less - it also unleashed a deluge of Gay Bar boots on the scene. Who won that XFM competition btw? Richard X makes a re-appearance, this time not as Girls on Top but a track from his excellent then debut album X-Factor, the female voice might sound familiar, it's Deborah from Flying Lizards, early 80's noiseniks/new wave popsters! And Beyonce starts her ascension, her solo career away from the ever-present Destiny's Child (I must be the only bootlegger from those times who never made a DC boot?) and you'll hear more from her from the last volume. The first track wasn't the whole track, just the 'Digital, Not Analog' ending hence it being called that on the artwork...I've included the original full track here (and the Soundhog bootleg, which I had to fade early due to space on the CD) as well as the 'proper' random meaningless title. Which might have seemed a laugh at the time, but doesn't half become annoying when trying to find something on that album. As does those who don't tag their work, another annoyance that comes to haunt over the years! Also a few of these suffered from MP3Rot, I don't think people realise how fragile this legacy is.
