The Gin Blossoms and the Afghan Whigs are two of the groups contributing tracks to the project, which is being produced under the auspices of Big Star drummer and Ardent Records A&R director Jody Stephens.
The release of the album is set for 1996, a quarter century after Big Star's Ardent debut, ''No. 1 Record.'' The album was a poor seller and the followup, ''Radio City,'' fared even worse.

Stephens is speaking from Ardent, where he's the facility's studio manager, and we're talking about the new In Space.
Ardent was distributed by Stax Records, which, suffering from near-terminal financial and distribution woes, was unable to place the records into stores with any consistency.
But by the spring of ’04 Big Star had its studio mojo back, and by all accounts it was Chilton who kept In Space moving forward as a contemporary recording unencumbered by old ghosts.
