That is perhaps as GEROGERIGEGE as the great noise things were, but I guess it is that both Gerogerigegege changed, but also world around it changed a lot. So when you got bunch of releases, that are ltd 1 copy, and image posted at social media for instant likes.... pfff.. well, all that mystery that was in flexidisc bonfire, empty c-0 tape box shakerbox and stuff like that, can not be reached. Or lets say recordings. Old 7" with audio from old reel-to-reel tape Juntaro recorded as kid. Eerie, utterly bizarre release. Fantastic to even listen to. Then some of more recent "lets make digital loops out of funk songs" and whatever... Unfortunately zero spirit what make such bizarre idea good when it also sounded good. Gero remains among favorites, but it is very clear where I don't even have to draw line of what to buy and what not. Idea of buying the new thing doesn't even cross my mind really.
I do have the 10xCD set on Urashima placed among "to be listened". That too, would have been sort of old school crazy-gero idea, unless now it is kind of one of the many CD boxsets looking the same. So if you got 10xCD box of Merzbow that is actually brilliant release, not sure is Gero such thing, or rather conceptual piece? Remains to be seen...
