Mission Of One News

My debut album "Take Another Swig" is once again going to be available digitally.  I have had it up on Bandcamp for some time but have gotten little notice outside of the free downloads I offered when I first put it up.  Even remastered, I know it sounds rough in places and it isn't for everyone.

With that said, Mission Of One's "Take Another Swig" album is currently available through iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play Music.  More sites like Amazon, Rhapsody, Pandora, etc. will be coming online in the next few days.  So, if you want to hear it, stream it!  If you want your own downloaded version, you will soon be able to find it anywhere!

Nice!

Xid, you should look into a service called Distrokid.  They charge $20 per year to release all the music you want under one band name.  $35 to release under 5 names.  I am going to get all of my old Mission Of One stuff back out there this way and then drop back to the $20 a year fee.  I may just do a short run of CDs as usual since most of my activity these days tends to be from digital sales and streaming.

I've looked at it briefly and am not real keen on the $20/yr.  If you stop paying does your music come off of all the distributors?

It does.  But, they have $49 deal that you can add on at any time that allows you to keep it up there and them collect payments for you.

I've that awesome CD for many years.
It's a good album with very bold and strong lyrics.
Some songs touched my heart.

I enjoyed TAKE ANOTHER SWIG... I thought the production was good man... raw... but RAW is good man!  It's Rock and roll!    That album was from the heart.

On the Distro thing... I'm a soundrop and CD baby guy... it's worked well for me for years with no anual fees... so I'm staying put.

It was raw because I had no idea what I was doing.  Even now, I feel like my mixing abilities are extremely weak.

No worries man... that was actually a compliment :-)

I didn't think it was a slur.  I was simply stating the truth.  My early recordings were very raw because I didn't know what I was doing.  Soon, I hope to move into the world of recording with a DAW and again I will be overwhelmed with not knowing what to do.  I will tinker until it hopefully sounds good.

It was your first CD and had to figure out how you had to do thinks like mixing and more.
Take An Other Swig is still one of my favorite CDs.

Someday, I might think about doing more Mission of One stuff.  I have to learn how to use a computer for recording so I could partner with other people around the country to do it right.  I'd love to use other guitarists for leads or find a singer that might not live anywhere near me to better the final product.  But, I want to learn it for my blues material, first.
