Artist History
Logos Affinity (known locally in Baltimore as The Logos Band) was founded in 1982 by guitarists/vocalists Chris Marks and Jack McLaughlin, bassist Erik Marks and drummer Jim Reid. Soon after, keyboardist/vocalist Ellsworth Hall joined and performed gigs with the group in the summer of 1982 while on hiatus from his own band, the Baltimore-based Affinity (founded in 1980 by Ellsworth, guitarist/vocalist Mark Van Natta, bassist Bill Myers and drummer Courtney Eckler). Courtney (also on hiatus from Affinity) joined soon after to replace the departing Jim Reid. The Affini Logue album was recorded during 1997-1998. |

Press Reviews
from Radio Xymphonia, Holland radio-xymphonia@cebe.demon.nl ...we've played two songs from Affini Logue in our program.... First "Horse And Carriage," the great finale of "The Isle Of Alms Suite", which is until this last part is quite relaxed, with - like the rest of the album - a lot of beautiful acoustic guitars. Then "The Path Yrbesque." We think the vocal melody is very strong and rich, just as it is in the other Ellsworth Hall composition, "Suitor In Black." Our overall opinion of the album is quite positive... Logos Affinity presents itself as a highly original band, that should have the chance to make an album for a big company within the progressive rock scene without losing their unique sound. As we said, we like the vocal parts a lot, together with the acoustic guitars that create a strange mixture with the electronic drums. |
