A Century of Song (2004)
A Century of Song is a 6-CD box set by La Musique Populaire. As the title suggests, A Century of Song is a chronological overview of songs from the 20th century. Recorded from 1999 to 2003, the songs were originally available for download from their website[2] Eschewing the canonical choices that would define such a chronology, LMP recorded songs ranging from the Tin Pan Alley of the turn of the century, to rap, alternative rock and dance music at the century. As such, A Century of Songs covers a multitude of genres, including plunderphonics, krautrock, happy hardcore and country.
The songs were eventually collected in a six CD-R disc box set, limited to 100 editions worldwide.[2]
Reviews were generally positive, but some expressed bafflement at the selection of songs and the disparate styles used.
