Wish I could do more to give you hope and to encourage you in this.
In this I agree with Gary, please don't smash anything.

I think rockerVu2 sums things up best:

after some time the time is better and God will provide in what you
need for Mission Of One.

So maybe its more a matter of patience and perseverance that is needed to see the project through to completion.

I would like to give you some examples from when I was in the research and development stage with Angelic Warlord. The most challenging part of putting the site together was the web design aspect in that I do not come from a knowledgeable computer background. I chose to design the site with Dreamweaver, a program I might describe as a super advanced but slightly neurotic Excel spreadsheet.

I lost track of the number of times I "quite" and "gave up" as I was attempting to learn Dreamweaver and design the site from scratch, with no web design background to speak of. Several times I literally tossed the "Dreamweaver For Dummies" book across the room.

There was one time I was at my wits end in terms of figuring out the CSS for the final layout and design- if I could not figure this out there is no way I could finish the site. I "quit" for an entire week and was in the process of starting my job search (I took a sabbatical from work to do the site).

However, one day I was browsing through a local Barnes & Noble bookstore and happened to pass through the Computer/Web Design section and starting to get a sinking feeling in my stomach. But I pulled one web design book off the shelf at random and starting flipping through it and by "accident" came across the answer to the dilemma I was facing (in terms of figuring out how to do the final layout and design). A couple of months later the site was done and online.

So by all means do not give up but keep at it- things are going to work out in the end (even if you need to take a bit of a break from the project in the process).

Also, in terms of vocalists: Have you approached Pastor Brad? He handles vocals on several songs on his new CD, "Break Out", and does quite well. The reason I mention him is that I know he did a couple of guitar solos for you.

Andy and I think alike! I reckon Pastor Brad could be a good addition as a vocalist.

i haven't smashed anything yet. I have a couple of avenues that I am pursuing as vocalists. In the meantime, I am working on the vocals myself and just taking each song line by line. If the line isn't right, I'll work until I am satisfied. But, if I find someone better, I'll let them redo these songs and do the rest.

Just keep me in prayer, folks. I am majorly musically depressed.

No offense to Pastor Brad, but if it is between you and Pastor Brad I would much prefer you sang on your own album.

Praying God will pull you out of your funk.

I always will keep you in prayer, special now you have a "musical depression".

It's what Gary says, it's between you and Pastor Brad.
Sometimes it's only a matter of time.

Um.. if my opinion weighs anything, I REALLY like MO1's material, and have spun your albums several times... I really dig the "Prodigal" song too.

I'm saddened at the outcome of this thread. It's a roller coaster that's left me bummed as I was hoping the end of this thread I would be reading about a completed MO1 album (despite the frustration of this project).

With all you've had to deal with, I don't blame you though.

I echo the above feelings.

Maybe you could spot us an EP with what you've got so far ?

I know you hate EPs and you hate anything less than perfection, but your fans are getting restless...

That would be fantastic. I would love to see a MO1 EP.

Very Happy

Same!

I still just have the two songs mixed and nothing more. I am still trying to find a way to send the files as is to Thomas for mixing since he is SO much better at that than I am.

Name all the individual tracks appropriately (example: Song Title - bass); put them in a zip file; email. Voilà.

Maybe Thomas knows a way to send the files to him?
