I don't mean this to show off - but truthfully this retrospective appreciation I accidentally found (looking for something unrelated to do with ‘Cognessence’) made me surprisingly emotional today. It’s behind a paywall, so I'll paste it.

@EVEL

@Cognessence lovely! 🍾
@ghostmeet thank you, ghostmeet! ☺️ (I now realise I had cut the ending off, too.)
@Cognessence @EVEL AWESOME!!! THat's not showing off at all. Just stating facts!
@changterhune @EVEL thank you so much, Charles! Strangely, I have literally zero memory of this person ever interviewing me, and didn’t recognise his name. (I only remember my utterly disastrous attempt at one with Mary Anne Hobbs at the time - and then your wonderful self years later! 😁)
@Cognessence It has only been a little over 2 years since I first heard your music, but I'm willing to climb up on that hill and help the journalist out. @EVEL

@defaultmediatransmitter @EVEL That is very kind, DMT! Thank you very much. I'd shared something about this in a PM with someone here, but I think you may also find the way I found this review amusing (and ironic.) The literal truth was that I was actually looking for a specific mean old review of Cognessence I hadn’t read in a long time - because there was a kind of thread on Mastodon where I saw one or two people posting bad reviews of their own past music. For jokes I wanted to contribute that one really bad review (something something "Logan is incapable of making a melody etc. etc.") I’ll confess I searched “Robert Logan Cognessence reviews no melody” to that end. Anyway, I couldn’t find that review - but did find this one for the first time! 😅

Some criticism can be a bit hurtful, but that one was more on the “person clearly hates this genre” type end - and even give some strange joy back then.

Thanks, whoever that was! It helped me stumble across this review instead! :D
