the final track listing:-

that's just over two hours of music in all. for full details of all these tracks, please investigate the tags to the right. some of them have changed title - sometimes more than once. we'll update the previous posts on this blog to accomodate all these changes.

now that shamania is finally out, we'll be putting up another post shortly detailing what's next for logos so stay tuned for that.

shamania

our third album shamania is scheduled for release on 21st september 2012. herewith the track listing:

01. anodyne (18.51)
02. deepblue2519 (3.44)
03. unified field object (15.00)
04. [+/-] (13.33)
05. hypogirl (5.45)
06. [-] (30.44)
07. shamania (18.15)
08. sidereal (21.30)
09. tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise] (3.42)

all tracks by alessa otto / darren francis. recorded summer 2010 - spring 2011, final mix summer 2012.

regular blog readers may notice that this is shorter than the last track listing we posted; we dropped two tracks as we felt the album flowed a lot better without them. we'll put them out in another medium at some point, possibly as free tracks of the week.

sha-bleedin-mania

we've finished the mix of our third album shamania. we'll set a release date once we've finalised the artwork, which won't take long.

herewith the track listing:

01. anodyne (18.51)
02. deepblue2519 (3.44)
03. [ / ] (14.59)
04. unified field object (15.00)
05. [ - / + ] (13.33)
06. [ - ] (30.44)
07. hypogirl (5.45)
08. shamania (18.15)
09. sidereal (21.30)
10. tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise] (3.42)

at last! says the world, and we concur. many of these tracks are nigh two years old.

the more astute amongst you, and regular logos blog readers, will note that a number of tracks from these sessions don't appear in this final listing. we know. it changed a great deal, tracks added, tracks taken away, but this listing is the one that works best. we'll put out the remainder, free tracks of the week or elsewhere; one way or another you'll eventually get to hear them all.

[edit, 25 october 2012] we spoke too soon here; shamania was remixed quite a bit after we made this post...

shamania

herewith the final track listing for our third album shamania, which will be released in the new year.

that's over two and a half hours of music in all. we also have about an hour and a quarter's worth of outtakes, which we're considering putting out as a free bonus supplementary album once the album proper is released.

shamania

for a little while we've been working on the mix of our third album shamania. the current track listing (albeit still subject to change though we doubt it'll differ much) is as follows:-

1. anodyne
2. deepblue2519
3. [/]
4. [-/+]
5. fire in the mind
6. [-]
7. anhedoniac
8. [+]
9. hypoboy
10. hypogirl
11. shamania
12. bipolar binary
13. tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise]

regular readers of our blog may remember that a little while back we posted provisional track listings for two albums-in-progress, shamania and everything we ever were. everything we ever were is on indefinite hold, though a few of the tracks are scheduled for shamania.

we'll let you know when it's all finished (we're hoping it'll be this side of christmas though we're not promising anything) and will also shortly be putting out some tracks from this album for you to listen to. you can already hear provisional versions of a couple on our myspace page.

not me / he knows the use of ashes

two new tracks, not me and he knows the use of ashes.

both feature voice, both clock in at less than three minutes, and one (not me) even features some percussion! fear not, a return to our conventional ten minute plus moody meanderings will be here ere long.

not me was created today, 14th november 2010. he knows the use of ashes is a little older. we did the first draft of that on the laptop in the red lion pub in avebury, wiltshire, on 15th october 2010 (at that point it was called the side effects of october; we've reassigned that title to another - as yet incomplete - track), revisited it on 30th october 2010 (looking back, we did a lot of music that weekend; desert star 1, tesseract, lie to me, another track called be with me that we've still not finished, and this one, along with finalising gehenna now), and finished it off yesterday, 13th november. all the tracks named in this post are destined for our third album, which will be called everything we ever were and will be out early next year.

tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise]

tesseract (deepblue2519 reprise) is a new track, though sibling to our earlier track deepblue2519 which we still love for its absurdity and for the absurdity of its creation. we did the first run-through of this on 30th october 2010, and finalised it today, 3rd november 2010. 30th october was of course the night we were getting the gehenna now album ready for release (and will now admit, though we said the mix had been finished a few weeks prior, that we did remix those three bones * about 30 minutes before gehenna now went on sale. ahh the luxury/allowed indulgence of digital releases!). no matter now, gehenna now is past, and all else is future.

* what did we remix? there was a particular transition point midway through the track which we were happy with but never that happy with, and were suddenly struck with a way of rendering better.**

** and no doubt could still find same for every track on the album, over and over and never finalised, but now it's released with all failings intact and with closure for us we endeavour not to listen to it again. as we say, all is future.
