      mono.net (1998?-2004ish) was an Australian-based music news and biography database. I've scraped 742 distinct, working Archive.org URLs and their artist names for a total of 666 unique artists. The URLs have been dead for at least two decades now, so would only be useful for lookup on Wayback Machine. An example of a typical URL:

      http://www.mono.net:80/artist/default.asp?id=487

      WayBack: https://web.archive.org/web/20020106004859/http://www.mono.net:80/artist/default.asp?id=487

      The "id" parameter does not exceed four digits (the highest-crawled ID is ~1500).

      Some of the URLs have only been crawled with additional URL parameters present, e.g.:

      https://web.archive.org/web/20020510133652/http://www.mono.net:80/artist/default.asp?id=1422&st=1

      https://web.archive.org/web/20000525141944/http://www.mono.net:80/artist/default.asp?id=570&or=AlbumType&sg=

      In these cases, the user would have to discover these snapshots through additional sleuthing on Wayback's end.

      There are also literally two crawled URLs from prior to 2000 with the following format:

      https://web.archive.org/web/19990428023231/http://www.mono.net:80/A/ammoni.html

      Though, in both cases the artists have also been crawled in the newer format, so these two surviving 1999 crawls are mostly just historical curiosities.
