Abstract Logic is the first collaborative live album by bassist Jonas Hellborg and guitarist Shawn Lane, released in 1995 through Day Eight Music; a remastered and remixed edition, containing a revised track listing and two extra tracks, was reissued through Bardo Records in 2004. For this lineup, they are joined by drummer Kofi Baker.

Critical reception

Robert Taylor at AllMusic gave Abstract Logic four stars out of five, calling it "a very good recording" but criticising Shawn Lane's guitar playing as inconsistent on the album. He praised Lane for sounding "positively demonic" and "demented, original and exciting" on some songs, but sounding too much like Allan Holdsworth on others.
