uncertain

we've created two remixes of the track the village at rest by uncertain, which you can hear on our soundcloud page.

the first - the solar mix -

the second -the lunar mix - is a much more minimal version.

the original uncertain version can be found on their album aether: musick for moths here.

first dark ride

we've been having all sorts of problems with making music over the last couple of months, and figured playing around with other people's tracks might be a good way of easing ourselves back in.

herewith a 'just for fun' reworking of one of our favourite coil tracks, first dark ride. we've never been too keen on the lengthy middle section, and wondered what the track would sound like without it. we've subtly though severely messed with the intro, massively truncated the middle section and tweaked the end. it clocks in at under half the length of the original; perhaps we'd jokingly refer to it as a "single mix".

please note that this is not in any way an 'official' mix or endorsed by coil or its associates/trustees. please also note that we do not claim or pretend to have any ownership of this track or its copyright. we have created this track purely for our own entertainment and share it freely. please go to coil's website at www.thresholdhouse.com to download their music.

logos free track of the week # 14

our latest free track of the week is an alternate mix of the track the looming tower. we mentioned this one a while back and here it finally is. download here.

logos on soundcloud (slight return)

we've massively revised our soundcloud profile - and with a new url - to include both our gehenna now and ascending a line in the sky to sothis albums in their entirety, along with a selection of tracks from our forthcoming shamania album and miscellaneous other tracks which don't feature on any of our albums. we've also created a custom playlist - uneasy listening - which we feel presents a good overview of, and introduction to, our music.

link here - http://soundcloud.com/logosuk

of course, to download our albums please go to our bandcamp page - http://logosnexus.bandcamp.com

please note that this is a different url to the one presented in the previous post. we didn't realise we'd already set up a soundcloud profile a year or two back, which means we now have two profiles over there...

logos on soundcloud

we've re-vamped our soundcloud profile with a selection of tracks from our two albums and others, including a few from our forthcoming album shamania. have a look and listen here.

update

we're enjoying mixing the shamania tracks, and planning our next few logos free tracks of the week (which will be a shamania track or two, plus the alternate mix of the looming tower which we promised not too long ago).

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.

logos free track of the week # 11

this track originally appeared on the compilation album 23 seconds ov time in october 2010, and is a 23 second version of the track do you love? from our album ascending a line in the sky to sothis.

it is not merely a 23 second except of the 9'11" original. instead we re-shaped a number of the track's elements to capture what we thought its essence in so short a time-frame.

we found the experience interesting and in some respects liberating. maybe we'll create 23 second versions of some other of our tracks, as a counter to our usual meandering indulgences...

please note that since our number of free tracks is now in double figures, we're taking down older ones as we add new ones, so if you want them then make sure you get them sooner rather than later.

get the track here.

get the rest of our free tracks of the week here.

the hills rise wild

a new(ish) track, put together this evening, 7th june 2011 - we say new(ish) because this re-works elements of the darren francis track the hills are alive (from his god thing project) into another and entirely other beast.

logos one year on

it's hard to believe that it's a year since we started logos. it all began in april 2010 during the sessions for darren francis' spoken word album hate ashbury*, the follow-up to his god thing project. things took a different - and very unexpected - turn, and before we knew it we'd already created the first tenatative logos tracks. at that time logos was named sick sick sixties, which we still think a good band-name though too much of a hangover from hate ashbury **, but logos - a name df had used for audio projects in the past - worked better for the music we wanted to make. the first logos track - gehenna now - was completed on 18th and 19th april 2010, with canticle, hollow hills of london, and everybody gets elves following before the end of the month.

we've come a long way since then. we've released our first album gehenna now, finished our second album ascending a line in the sky to sothis which will be releasing very soon, got very excited about our third album shamania, and along the way also managed to record another 20-odd tracks which will be finding their way out in one form or another. how to celebrate? let me count the ways. let's start with another logos free track of the week, our second album ascending a line in the sky to sothis, a logos q&a to give you an insight into our morbid practices, and some entirely new music. after that? let's see.

* = which - as a consequence of logos - was never finished, but df intends to do so ere long.

** = this will make more sense when df puts out hate ashbury, which will be coming this year. 'fucked up industrial hippy music' was the remit.

logos free track of the week # 6

our latest logos free track of the week is a version of our gehenna now track volo ergo sum. one of our favourite gehenna now tracks*. the medium and the message. download it - and the rest of our free tracks - here. download gehenna now - the album where you'll find the original version - here.


* for us the original mix is the definitive one, though no doubt some of you may prefer this one. that's fine. we like this one, too, and know there's not much in them.

hypoboy

the latest logos track in what seems like too long, hypoboy was created on the evening of 8th march 2011.

more new music is on its way. we've been busy of late with the final mix of ascending a line in the sky to sothis, and darren francis has been engaged in writing projects, with the recording of his second spoken-word-with-music album (which, being primarily guitar-driven, is a very different beast to the first) and with an impending house move. no worries; alessa otto will take up the slack.

we also have another couple of logos free tracks of the week on their way, one of which will be a track you've never heard before. watch this space for announcements.

[edit 25th october 2012] this is a completely different track to the one that appears under the same name on shamania. this version is unreleased. the hypoboy on shamania was originally titled [ - / + ]
