Check Mike Berro's page for further info about the project, such as when and how to send the music. Submitters are encouraged to download what Mike has put on his page as a final check. I stopped updating this page, since the info on Mike's pages is much more up to date.
The proposal stage of the project finished on 31 januari 1999. This list is in order of receiving, and does not reflect the order on the final CD's.
