am i looking at 800 quid for a download there? hahaha wow. amazing

That's just the standard tactic for when you put up a bandcamp item that isn't actually the release / that you want to be streaming-only (in this case the audio samples are just a robot voice reading the title!), people make it effectively non-downloadable by putting a crazily high price

I'm certain anyone dumb enough to buy these as downloads would just get a download of the seconds-long robot voice!

I think Juntaro just hasn't realised you can add merch-only items, or doesn't want to do it that way for whatever reaon

'in this case the audio samples are just a robot voice reading the title!'

Changed my mind. Gero are brilliant again now.

Looks like they have a bandcamp now: https://thegerogerigegege.bandcamp.com/

But of course you can only stream a 7 second sample of each release and prices for even downloads are insane. Still, probably the only way you'll actually end up getting what you pay for!

It's a pity to see this completely legendary act devolve into a cheesy cash grab rip off.

I get the impression it's not meant to be taken seriously. And if it is, it shouldn't be.

Are you referring to the bcamp or Gero in general?

Anyone already taken the plunge and tried to order something off the Bandcamp?

Anyone know if the reissues on Vis A Vis of the first Gero tape (originally on ZSF) and the Gero-P tape are available anywhere else other than from Juntaro directly?

Looks like Gero is releasing a LP on the techno/house label, The Trilogy Tapes:

Will Bankhead has hinted his love for noise in the past, but never imagined Juntaro to join the roster.

Noise/weird is pretty well represented in TTT back catalogue: Dilloway, Dog Lady, Vom Grill, Olsen, Angela Sawyer, Andrew Coltrane etc etc

Excited to see a new Gero release that is likely to actually show up when you order it.  Hope it's as good/bad as that fucking DJ scratch record.

Well I for one am truly looking forward to grabbing a copy of this release. A Gero release that will actually turn up when you buy it.

I'll piss myself laughing if it's actually some TTT'esque experimantal housey/techno stuff.
