Does Germ have any other titles on CD besides _Gone_?

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but has anyone heard the new Germ album. Thanks, Mohsen

I just picked it up. It's called "Parrot", and it's the first time I've heard of them. Standard fare for GPR, but I found the experimental pieces such as "Tish" to be much more rewarding. Paul Rafanello onnow: "Transcience" - Technova

Oh god, Yeah, I think it is really cool and weird and harsh is some seriously nice ways. It is a very 'awake' listenning experience imo, and very demanding. It shifts footing in a way that is similar to Black Dog's Spanners and the last Aural Expansion "Surreal Sheep". I'd like to here some earlier stuff. The new Germ LP has acoustic bass, trombone, and (? trumpet) mixed in there is a very Max Roach-bebop-jazz feel sorta-way. It blends well given that many of the electronic sounds 'honk' and 'sputter' more than the wild horns. A very electronic album with, ironically, a few acoustic instruments perfectly merged in...
