what is that on the cover? first I thought mouldy leeks, then I thought hair, then I though mouldy hair and leeks, then I had a sit down |

I will buy this because I did genuinely like the samples, like a darker, looser Massive Attack without fear of Sinead O'Connor lurching in. |

Hi hanal, thanks for the mention. :-) Dannn, the front cover is actually a microscopic photo of a crystal solution by my dad. He takes a lot of these pictures by mixing up various vitamins and other chemicals. My myspace has a few others he's taken. Some people aren't too keen on the cover, but I really like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have placed an order for this. I also like the cover. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Hanal: Fav+ Vlari: Top joke. CS2X: Good tracks. |
||||||||
|
|

Where can I hear samples? |

FlyAgaric - CS2x - i like the cover, its not like any crystals i've seen. I like your beach photo, I like the music. In essence: congs |

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Makes all that time spent making it even more worthwhile. :-) In case any of you are about in London and have absolutely nothing better to do, I'm playing live with a drummer and bassist on the 2nd of March (supporting Pest off Ninja Tune) and on the 23rd, which is the album launch party. |

Haven't heard the entire album yet, but 'In Suspension' blows my mind. It's got structures that I can only call experimental. Very fresh rhythms as I've never heard anything like it. Like a bunch of seamlessly endless patterns working together just to stay structured. Very caper. Can't wait to order a copy of this Rob, good job! |

where are they at? |

I'm playing at , and the adress is: 143 Adelaide Rd, London, NW3 3NL. |

CS2x : nice tunes mate, im gonna see if the store here in the states can order it. If your only 19, your like the "Young Richard" you will define IDM for the future :) |

I think a number of online stores will ship to America. :-) The distribution got a bit mucked up and it's ended up not being in the shops it should be in the UK. Slowfoot is finding a new distributor..... |

Just got my copy and had to say how impressed I was. Rob, this album is immense in every respect, an authentic atmosphere so meticulously layered and unified as a whole that I had to refrain myself from going back a track to indulge again, as I wanted my first listen to be thorough. I love how the tracks blend into one another, it wouldn't feel right just to select some track and listen to it at random after hearing it in it's entirety, albeit they are great stand alone tracks. Professional flow, emotional melodies, detailed beat structures, massive soundscapes, all in all, congs on Cognessence! |

Can someone put this on SoulSeek or demonoid in apple lossless or at least 320kbps? |

I'm buying this from Boomkat with my next batch order. |

i was in london, but i had to come back to leeds yesterday so i can't make that gig on friday, but good luck and have fun. |

As soon as the copy I ordered arrives in the post I will rip it to FLAC and upload it to every p2p torrent pirate booty bay on the web without even having listened to it to ensure Robert Logan never receives another penny for his efforts because, clearly, he does not deserve it. |

that's how music is supposd to be enjoyed these days. less of the sarcasm. get with the times, old man. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Sorry about the sarcasm, how about this for a refreshing dose of sincerity: Fuck off. |
||||||||
|
|

Another penny? Production costs have barely been met yet! Things have been rather slow-footed in that area of things (har, har.) I must say, I'm trembling with fear at the thought of your copy arriving. I can see a terrible collection of words; a destructive cacophony of deviously-written sentences that'll tear down any shred of a desire to make music ever again. But honestly, I hope that you do actually enjoy the thing. Thanks for getting it. |

Well I've heard the samples and it sounds great so I am sure I will like the whole thing, and even on the off chance that, in a Babylon Zoo style, it starts of good then rapidly descends in dirgey bollocks I won't write a bad review or say anything. I'll just relabel "The Very Worst of Grinning Ape" as "Robert Logan new album leak" and stick that on the net. |

There you go, I got this in the post this morning. This is phenomenal, an absurdly accomplished, layered, shifting, flowing, unique electronic / organic epic. The first track sets it all up with its blend of ominous, paranoic textures, dispossesed vocal snatches and its nervous, insidious rhythm. It makes me think of a vastly improved "Mezzanine" by Massive Attack. Where that album is all spidery and uneven, thin guitars and dominant bass, this is a far more satisfying and expansive blend of sound. I'm no World Music buff so I don't know if it's Eastern influences or Hungarian Gypsies crashing the party at times, but those elements only briefly drift in and out so I'm not left feeling like the utter ignoramous I am. The one thing better than an album with a killer opening trackis one that follows it with an even better one. Second track "Budapest" is just incredible, elegiac, it makes me think of Plaid in structure but again it seems to sound far fuller and varied without being "fussy" and doesn't annoy me in the way that they do. I like the way the tracks leak into each other, it ebbs and flows, the mood darkening and lightening throughout the duration. I think it was a bold move to put the lightness and funk of "Pop" on there, which still works in context due again to its layers and depth, and ithe way it's lured back to the dark in the final third. Closer "Proto Lexicon" rivals "Quino-phec" for stunned, ambient wash out finale. Truly an astonishing, unique sounding, highly accomplished album by a young lad obsessed with dead rats. Robot Log-on - "The Essence of Congs" 10 Belches (and a bonus follow through) out of 10 |

now thats a lovely review.i also agree on all counts. its a great album to have. |

Thank you very much for your words. It was all getting quite depressing, the things going on this past year; I'm surprised I haven't ended up in a mental hospital. When people enjoy music you've worked hard at, it's a wonderful cure. I also had a very enjoyable album launch party tonight; got a lot of people dancing to live versions of Cognessence tracks with a drummer and synth bassist (I expected ten people to show up and then boo me off.) They didn't let me play that David Attenborough video clip of a decaying rat in the backround, though. :-( |
||||||||

I agree with that review completely. |

Apparently my friends have seen it up on some bit torrent programs/sites. Oh well, at least more people will get to hear it. Anyway, if any of you are up for it/can be bothered, Slowfoot think releasing a shorter EP with a track from the album (maybe Lost Highway, but perhaps not) with remixes and an extra new track would be a good idea, in a few months maybe. So if any of you fancy doing any remixing, be my guest. |
||||||||
|

Really? That is awful. I'm sure it's these fucking music reviewers who get the promo CDs shove them up on the bitorrent sites. Why? Because a lot of them are failed musicians and they actually hate music. |
||||||||
|
|

If I find your album somewhere on the internet I will download it. And with just about anything I download off the internet, if it is any good I will buy it. |

Just got this thru the post from (those fucking wankers) Boomkat. Very very nice stuff so far, currently listening to Budapest. Well done Rob! |

Let me know what you think of the whole thing once you've listened to it. :-) |
