the devil's business

another track for our as-yet-untitled fourth album, created in one sitting on 30th july 2012.

note that although we've created quite a bit of new music recently, we've not listed everything track by track as we do it - as we did with our previous three albums - as our way of working on this album is rather differnet to how we've worked in the past. we're working on all tracks simultaneously, shaping each against and in context with the others. the few tracks we've listed here are the ones we'd deem 'complete' in their present form. of course, they may well change dramatically as we create other tracks. as before, we record this partly for our own benefit.

the last door

another track destined for our fourth album.

logos news update july 2012

since our last news update we've finished the mix of our third album shamania, which will be released as soon as we've fixed the artwork.


herewith the track listing (nearly two and a half hours of music in all):-


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)


we're also arranging cd editions of our three albums gehenna now, ascending a line in the sothis, and shamania. this will be after shamania is released. the shamania timings and track listing will differ to the digital version detailed above.


once shamania is released, darren francis will be taking a break from logos to concentrate on writing projects. this doesn't mean that logos will be put on hold; we'll still be putting out new free tracks of the week, the cd editions mentioned above, and working on tracks for our as-yet-untitled fourth album (which is already in progress). we also have tracks on at least one compilation album coming out this year; more details on those when we can release them.


don't forget to follow us on ffacebook, twitter, myspace, for the latest logos news and information.

logos on cd

both our albums gehenna now and ascending a line in the sky to sothis will shortly be available on cd, for those of you who prefer a more physical, tactile medium to their music than downloadable files.

we'll also be making a rather different mix of our third album shamania available on cd in the near future. we say 'different mix' because the album is way too long to fit onto a single disc and rather than splitting it over multiple discs we'd rather reshape the music to fit one disc. this will be available after we've released the album for download.

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...

come to now

a new track, created 9th june 2012, for an as-yet-untitled future album.

the shamania mix is almost done, and has taken far longer than we were expecting. we'll have more news on that album anon.

Logos News Update June 2012

though it may not seem that way, we've been busy at logos towers. we're still tinkering with the mix to our third album shamania, which we'll put out as soon as we're happy with it. we are also creating new music, and will let you hear some of our new tracks ere long.

you can hear some tracks from shamania at our soundcloud page here. we've also released two of those tracks as free tracks of the week which you can download here.

we recently created two mixes of the track the village at rest by the band uncertain (from their aether: musick for moths album, which you can hear - and download for free - here. we've also created several 'for the fun of it' unofficial coil mixes, which you can listen to (and download for free) at the same link.

we're very pleased to announce also that we have a track coming out on a compilation album shortly, and hope to be able to give you full details in our next update.

logos free track of the week # 15

our latest free track of the week is deepblue2519, from our forthcoming third album shamania. listen - and download - here.

mu-ur mothership

another of our unofficial, 'for the fun of it' coil mixes, this blends elements of the tracks the mothership and the fatherland and mu-ur from coil's 1999 album astral disaster. we always thought mothership... worked best as an extended intro to mu-ur and wanted to combine the two to see how it came out. the first mix of this we did ran to over half an hour, but we hacked it down to a more manageable 18 minutes. if that sounds excessive, bear in mind that the original two tracks combined add up to 45.06. please note that this is not in any way an 'official' mix or endorsed by coil or their trustees. please also note that we do not claim or pretend to have ownership of this track or its copyright. we have created this track purely for our own entertainment and share it freely.

furthur

we've created another 'for the fun of it' coil remix.

this one combines elements of the two different coil tracks, who'll fall? and is suicide a solution? (together with another coil track as coda), along with quite a bit of subtle tweaking and tinkering. it's odd that it clocks in at around the same length as both coil versions, which wasn't planned at all.

please note that this is not in any way an 'official' mix or endorsed by coil or their trustees. we have created it purely for our own entertainment and share it freely.

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.

listen to our first dark ride mix, and download for free, here.

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.


edit 2 february 2012 - incorrect link removed.

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.

logos free track of the week # 10

our latest logos free track of the week is, as previously announced, the looming tower - download it here.

this track was created at the end of september 2010; click the tag below for further information.

update

here at logos towers, we've begun work on re-sculpting and mixing tracks for our third album shamania. the track listing will differ - though not drastically to that set out in our post dated 27th november 2010.

logos' darren francis has been busy with writing projects. you can follow this aspect of df's work on facebook here.

the next logos free track of the week is on its way. this is scheduled to be the unreleased* the looming tower. we may put out two very different versions - we're not sure yet. we'll put it up as soon as we've finished tinkering with it.

* albeit an early version did appear on our myspace page for a while.
