we've now finalised (honestly, this time....) the track listing for our gehenna now album, as follows:
1. hollow hills of london 2. everybody gets elves 3. tectonic states 4. those three bones 5. heaven can wait 6. gehenna now 7. volo ergo sum 8. dunwich beach, september 2001 [a fragment]
total running time is a little under 1 hour 20 minutes.
we need to do some final mixing/tweaking to a couple of the tracks, then it's done, at which point we'll post a link where you can listen to the whole album online and - should you desire - buy a copy. initially it'll be a digital release only (your choice of file format) but we'll make cd copies available before long too, for those who prefer a more tactile medium for their music.
our first new track in what seems a while to us (although we see - looking back here - that it's been just over two weeks), hey jim was created on the evenings of 19th and 20th september 2010, with some final editing on 21st september 2010. we weren't intending on creating a new track, but the bones of the backing track to this piece arose by accident whilst re-working the track dunwich beach, september 2001 [a fragment] and provided a good opportunity for us to use a number of samples we've had ear-marked for a while.
we're very nearly done with the final mixing of our gehenna now album; as predicted in previous posts, the track listing has changed several times in the last few days and weeks. we'll post the final listing once we're done with it. we had hoped to be finished by autumn equinnox, but it's taken a little longer than we anticipated; hopefully in the next few days.
a great deal has happened on planet logos since our last update. we're finalising the track listing for our first album, and re-working those chosen tracks. it's currently (1) hollow hills of london, (2) everybody gets elves, (3) heaven can wait, (4) gehenna now, (5) volo ergo sum, (6) tectonic states, (7) manunkind, and (8) dunwich beach, september 2001 [a fragment]. it may be different a few days or weeks or seconds hence, mutable until we've got a play-list that'll fit onto a single disk. as well as re-working those tracks, we're also working on some new music and expect to have some new tracks for you all to hear very shortly.
we now have a profile at soundcloud - http://www.soundcloud.com/logosuk. amongst other things, this allows us to place player files for individual tracks wherever we want and we've started by posting all our soundcloud tracks directly on this blog. you'll see them all to the right of this post. this allows you to listen to our tracks without needing to navigate away from this page. note that all the tracks we've posted on soundcloud so far are re-worked and re-mixed versions of older tracks. give them a listen.
it never ceases to amuse us; four months ago we'd never made music, started doing this by accident and people seem to much-like what we do and - some of the time - we much-like what we do. sliding each which way by day by day, from an intellectual folly to a pill-count to a sound stage to a drunk diversion to something in which we can lose ourselves to an emotional black hole. all just grist for the mill.
* Edit, October 2010: We've taken the soundcloud audio files of here for the moment, since all the soundcloud files are out of date and we've not had time to re-load them; we'll put them back up once we've finished mixing the album.
we've recently completed two new tracks; dunwich beach, september 2001 [a fragment], and coming forth by day.
dunwich beach, september 2001 (a fragment) was begun on 4th july 2010 and finalised on 8th july 2010. as the name suggests, the final track is a much-distilled fragment of a longer original. we expect to re-work and finalise the full-length version at some point. as the name also suggests, there's an allusion to a similarly named brian eno track. dunwich beach does have a specific ratio for us, though, in particular dunwich beach in september 2001.
coming forth by day was begun on 9th july 2010, and finished on 12th july 2010. do we want to say any more? not specifically.
