I recently got the Rebellion 1985 compilation tape as well as another recent tape reissue, The Herzliyya Boardwalk String Sextet's Godzillas in the East. Both are really good. The compilation was meant to be released in 1985 by a different label, but it was never released. It's a mix of more melodic and rhythmic synth/electronics stuff and noise/noisy material, from a time when there was often no clear difference between these styles.

The THBSS ("Boardwalk" is consistently misspelled as "Boadwalk" on the cover and the tape) tape is a reissue of a tape from 1989 by this Israeli project. It doesn't get much more obscure than this, so I just had to get it. Side A is a bit like the first New Blockaders album in its single-minded focus, although not as harsh; side B is more varied, being a bit like a mix of TNB and the Haters.

Vis a Vis has recently put out two new tapes: a reissue of two early S.B.O.T.H.I. tapes on a single tape, and a reissue of early Context material.

The new Drone Lebanon collection Juntaro just released is pretty killer as well.

'Straight after the gorgeous album,,Moenai Hai" from 2016,
The GeroGeriGeGeGe are back with a new fantastic 12" vinyl record.

On April 23rd 2003, The GeroGeriGeGeGe hits the road on 8 city west coast tour.
They would them make history by partaking in the first ever all scratch music tour.

The unique thing about this record is that most of the sounds were designed and
arranged before the group actually rehearsed it. In other words, you will hear this
record and be challenged with the question on how to use the sounds just as they were.

With less than 2 weeks to practice, the member took bits and pieces of sounds from
this record, and created the vibe featured on this tour.

Like any The GeroGeriGeGeGe releases, this is not your average record,
this is an instrument featuring custom made sounds, vintage synths, as well as samples from
seminal albums such as ,,Sketchbook: An Introduction to Good Music".

Wether you're trying to mimmick the song performed on the tour and album, create original
good music, or producing tracks traditionally,
there's enough samples to bang out multiple albums.

A piece of history on wax.'

huh?

Well there you have it! good spot/find.

Quoting from Now Listening thread:

Gerogerigegege - S/T 12" ep - Scrotum Records (2017)

Side A is some sort of Japanese disco/funk thing, Side B is a load of short loops of pieces from the same track, or so it sounds. Total bummer.

So the sound is probably just the completely obscure Ricci Rucker et al release unaltered but now with the name Gerogerigegege added to the sleeve. That sounds a very suitable Gero release, genius! Especially as the dates of that tour correspond to the Juntaro serious illness time if my memory isn't wrong. A concept.

Am told Vis A Vis Audio Arts want to reissue Smell & Quim 'The English Method' and hope this happens.

So, is this just the sound of a random hip hop tour 12" being used for a Gero release..? I can't see see any connection. Appreciate all the confusion though..

well, they released a tape of shitty cambodian pop songs, if you count that as a connection.

[Duncan]

The song is definitely Japanese and the b side loops are often grunts of the male vocalist which sound a bit lewd so I'd expect juntaro still picked and cut audio. Still total shite.

[Eastern Embargo]

^ It's a battle record. Cop two and attend your local DJ battle!

Some of the comedic/nonsense releases are what makes G so interesting and fun to me. I am sort of eager to hear this one.. Ordered via his FB page with OBI edition when he posted it.

[Duncan]

I'm really happy I have it and love it as an example of true Gero irritation. Just be aware that there is next to zero sonic worth to this record.
