Subtitle: starring Paul Morley and a cast of thousands. Total time 59:01 minutes, file size 70,9 Mb. 1.63: Miscredited as 'Big Apple Productions - Genius At Work (Original)'. 1.70, 1.83: Miscredited as 'Big Apple Productions - Genius At Work (Vol. 2)'. 1.103: Miscredited as 'Pete Smith'. The tracklist is a detail of the tracks used in the order that they appear in the mix. This is the original web only release, later there also was an edition on CDr published by Ninja Tune. Release notes: Originally aired January 18th, 2004 by Strictly Kev on XFM's 'The Remix' show in London, 'Raiding the 20th Century' is an attempt to catalogue the history of cut up music - be it avant garde tape manipulation, turntable megamixes or bastard pop mash ups. Shortly after he had played it, Strictly Kev read Paul Morley's 'Words & Music' and was amazed how certain chapters mirrored parts of his mix. Apart from the fact that the title, 'Raiding the 20th Century', was coined by Morley 20 years before for a future Art of Noise project, he also featured Alvin Lucier, who - purely by chance - was sampled on the opening track of the mix. Kev thus decided to expand his idea and make it a defnitive document on cut up music, including many other parts formerly omitted by the constraints of the original radio session. After months of research, he tracked Morley down and they recorded passages from 'Words & Music' specially for the mix in an attempt to marry the two and finish something that neither of them actually started. A year to the day of the original airing, the newly expanded version was ready, gathering 167 tracks in a 59 minutes long DJ mix.
