So I saw that there is Nothing Better
that a man should rejoice in his work - Eccl. 3:22

"a Mighty Army Cometh" progression page

       First and foremost I would like to say that now would be a good time to review Joel 2 and the Locust Papri to refresh ourselves concerning our core-values and ministry desires.
       This page is set up to keep all of us updated as to the progress of the album in whole. Its going to be a hard page for me to maintain BUT hopefully NOT confusing (if it is please share your ideas on how to lessen the confusion).
       Guidelines for this Page:
---The songs are listed Alphabetically in the categories below. Right now we have Completed (Final) Songs, Partially Completed (Progressing) Songs and Song Ideas. I will put these in categories below.
---This page will CONSTANTLY BE UPDATED and I need ALL of you to come back here often to UPDATE YOURSELVES. Also... VERY IMPORTANT!.... when you download 'progressing' songs from this page you MUST delete the 'previous version'. This is EXTREMELY important to maintain quality control (every time a 'new version' of a song becomes available the older version, obviously, becomes obsolete. ("Test 2" makes "Test 1" obsolete, "Test 3" makes "Test 2" obsolete and so on. All OBSOLETE tracks MUST be deleted so there is NO confusion or contamination of the 'Final Versions'.---keep in mind some of the new versions might have the slightest changes so therefore need to be deleted before downloading the newest version.

I, the dashing Jeremiah Dirt, am glad to be working on this project with all of you. And now our progress (everything below here is subject to update so please return frequently for new information):


"a Mighty Army Cometh" the Music:

This and the "Song Ideas" are going to be the most updated/active areas.

Song Ideas / Beats:

First Come First Served. These are the available beats (producers please add more!- Send me some to add). First ones inspired need to contact Jeremiah Dirt so the song can 'move up' into the 'Progressing' area. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that if you have a song idea BUT no beats here interest you then contact Dirt to develop a new one (or he find a new one from his resources of producers OR bring your own to the table). The Titles are ONLY working titles for the beats. These beats will be renamed with whatever title you MC's want for the final. Play the beat right from the audio player to the left or download it by Right-Clicking the file to its left. If any of these tracks strike your fancy please contact Jeremiah Dirt about it so it can be removed from the "Idea" list and start making its way up, through "progressing" and into another final for the album!
