Brand new and sealed!
I could find no listing for the acts and songs online, but below is an extensive review of the cd by The Indianapolis Star which mentions many of them.
"Indy MP3 Project" ranges from Celtic rock (Mother Grove) to Baltic folk (Hedgehogs). Here's a brief sample of noteworthy artists. Buselli Wallarab Jazz Orchestra This group, led by trombonist Brent Wallarab and trumpeterflu-gelhomist Mark Buselli, has carried on the big-band tradition with original music and jazz repertory programs since 1994. Chevy Downs This Americana group features Tim Jones, who formerly sang in major-label rock band Old Pike, and David Moore, who formerly sang in influential indie-rock band Chamberlain. The Common Members of this band portrayed the backing musicians during the Phoenix Theatre's popular 2002 presentation of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Devil to Pay 2003 winner of Benchmark Records' Battle of the Bands. Jennie DeVoe This singer-songwriter made part of her upcoming studio album (her third) with producer John Parish (PJ Harvey, Tracy Chapman) in Great Britain. Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra This 35-member group collaborated with the Indianapolis Opera to present a new version of The Tragedy of Carmen" that runs through Sunday at Butler University. Loretta 2002 winner of Benchmark Records' Battle of the Bands. Soulbus Vocalist Tad Robinson, who's recorded solo blues albums for the Delmark and Severn labels played a bandmate of bad-guy Tommy Lee Jones in the 1992 film "Under Siege." Ann McWilliams This singer-songwriter founded City of Music, initially a networking Web site for independent musicians and now a nationally syndicated radio show. The local music community may learn tonight whether the general public is ready to take a chance on the Great Unknowns. The Unknowns aren't the newest garage band hanging around the intersection of 49th Street and College Avenue; they're 167 acts bidding for collective recognition as prime entertainment in a town famous for three-pointers and pole positions. "Indy MP3 Project is a CD-ROM that unites all of the acts on a single disc. A dozen of the groups will celebrate the project's release with a rock, hip-hop, country and blues show tonight at Birdy's nightclub on the Northside. But mainstream support is difficult to predict. Christopher Robbins, whose band the Nancy School is playing an "Indy MP3 Project" show April 30 at the Emerson Theater, knows the typical arguments against it. "Frankly, it's taxing to listen to a band you've never heard before play original music for 30 to 45 minutes," Robbins says. "People who go see bands generally already know about them. They hear them on radio or they saw them on MTV. They're coming Star file photo Otis Gibbs is scheduled to perform tonight at Birdy's. r-T k'JI .t- , 1 J . 21-and-over release party Featuring: About the Fire, All-Star Hip-Hop Jam, Archer Avenue, F-6, Otis Gibbs, Rich Hardesty, Indy-viduals, Perfect Nothing, Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, Rhymefest, the Slurs, Wonderdrug.

Where: Emerson Theater, 4634 E. 10th St. " Although the Birdy's and Emerson events lack household names, there's no shortage of underground stars: Rapper Rhymefest toured Europe last year with DJ Mark Rbnson. Rhymefest, a longtime associate of Kanye West, co-wrote a song on West's current smash album, "The College Dropout." Indiana University graduate Rich Hardesty has sold more than 50,000 albums as an independent artist. The singer-songwriter frequently performs in Jamaica. The Pieces landed on the national College Music Journal charts in 2003, and the group also played U.K. dates with former Lemonhead Evan Dando. Punk rock's Sloppy Seconds recorded an album and a mini-album for Nitro Records. About the project Nearly 170 songs can fit on a single disc because MP3s are compressed digital files. The CD-ROM will be compatible with personal computers and DVD players, as well as many car stereos and CD players. When accessed via a personal computer, the CD-ROM displays artist photos, biographical information and links to Web sites. While variations of rock 'n' roll form the dominant style, the CD-ROM also features 10 hip-hop tracks, nine electronicindustrial, eight country and four in the classical genre. The musicians pictured on the cover of today's Weekend section represent hip-hop (Russell Johnson of the Mudkids), indie rock (Richard Edwards of Archer Avenue), punk rock (Justin Allen of the Slurs), folk (Kate Lamont of Blueprintmusic), jazz (Larry Calland of Conga Jazz) and modern rock (Jason Michael Thomas of the bands F-6 and X-Ray Rog
