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

<p>it's hard to believe that it's a year since we started <strong>logos</strong>. it all began in april 2010 during the sessions for <strong>darren francis'</strong> spoken word album <strong>hate ashbury</strong>*, the follow-up to his <strong>god thing</strong> project. things took a different - and very unexpected - turn, and before we knew it we'd already created the first tenatative <strong>logos</strong> tracks. at that time <strong>logos</strong> was named <strong>sick sick sixties</strong>, which we still think a good band-name though too much of a hangover from <strong>hate ashbury</strong> **, but <strong>logos</strong> - a name <strong>df </strong>had used for audio projects in the past - worked better for the music we wanted to make. the first<strong> logos</strong> track - <strong>gehenna now</strong> - was completed on 18th and 19th april 2010, with <strong>canticle</strong>, <strong>hollow hills of london</strong>, and <strong>everybody gets elves</strong> following before the end of the month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>we've come a long way since then. we've released our first album <strong>gehenna now</strong>, finished our second album <strong>ascending a line in the sky to sothis</strong> which will be releasing soon, got very excited about our third album <strong>shamania</strong>, 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 <strong>logos free track of the week</strong>, our second album <strong>ascending a line in the sky to sothis</strong>, a <strong>logos</strong> q&a*** to give you an insight into our morbid practices, and some entirely new music. after that? let's see.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>* = which - as a consequence of <strong>logos</strong> - was never finished, but df istill hopes to do so at some point. <br><br>** = this will make more sense when<strong> df</strong> puts out <strong>hate ashbury</strong>, which will be coming this year. 'fucked up industrial hippy music' was the remit.</p>
<p>*** = we never did finish this in the end, but intend to do so now that ths website is up and runnng.<br></p>

<p>we know things have been quiet on <strong>planet logos</strong> so far this year*. we've almost finished the mix of our second album <strong>ascending a line in the sky to sothis</strong>, which will be available shortly, and are well on the way with its follow-up. in the meantime, here is another <strong>logos free track of the week</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>this is an alternate mix of the track <strong>gehenna now</strong>, from the album of the same name. download it <a href="http://logosnexus.bandcamp.com/album/logos-free-track-of-the-week" data-imported="1">here</a>.</p>

<p>* by our standards; not producing a handful of new tracks a month seems 'quiet' to us...</p>

<p>an entirely new version of the track <strong>the porpoise principle</strong> was created on 20th february 2011. the only thing this shares with the october 2010 version - other than the title - is the sample that gives the track its name. regular readers of our blog may remember that we recycled the rest of the october 2010 version into our november 2010 track <strong>anhedoniac</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>edit, 15th may 2011:</strong> this february 2011 version is the one on <strong>ascending a line in the sky to sothis</strong>.</p>

<p>our latest <strong>logos free track of the week</strong> is a version of the track <strong>manunkind</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>this was one of the first <strong>logos</strong> tracks, created back in june 2010, and features voice by <strong>darren francis</strong> and words by <strong>e e cummings</strong> (the poem '<strong>pity this busy monster, manunkind</strong>') . we did a radical edit of this track in january 2011 for <strong>darren francis</strong>' myspace page. this current mix, a compromise between the 9'24" original and the 2'17" edit, was created on 18th february 2011.</p>

<p>this material was created between december 2009 and march 2010, and its probably fair to say that without it there would have been no <strong>logos</strong>.</p>

<p>today's <strong>logos free track of the week</strong> is a track we likely won't be making available anywhere else (for the foreseeable future and in this form at least).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>canticle</strong> was the second <strong>logos</strong> track created and we're still fond of it. it very nearly appeared on <strong>gehenna now</strong>. though it sounds a world away from where we are now in some respects, here it is if you want it. why didn't it make the <strong>gehenna now</strong> mark? a sample, pure and simple. obscure but recognisable - to us at least - and we didn't feel comfortable releasing it. giving it away is a different matter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>note that this draft is the demo created way back in april 2010. we did consider re-working it before putting it out today but opted not to. so you get the original, warts and all.</p>
