Comments:
"Anything V.2.1" is an updated version of "Anything Can Happen" (from the Columbia promo 12" single), and sounds like a junglised version of "Automanikk".
"This Is The Right Time" later appeared on the compilation CD, "Cryogenix".
From Google Groups (July 1993):
"think his last release was 'This Is The Right Thing' on Juicebox records at the end of April. Other than that... hasn't he got something to do with Dr. Devious and those psychedelic rave videos ?"
From NME (1st May 1993):
"A GUY CALLED GERALD: 'This Is The Right Time' (Juicebox) four-track EP containing a mixture of unreleased and released tracks on 12" vinyl only - out now."
Reviewed in Mixmag Update #288 (16th June 1993):
"Yet another four tracker from Gerald. 'Too Fucked To Dance' is just that, squeaks, squeals, breaks and a 'Wrath Of Kane' sample. 'Darker Than I Should Be' takes you to the darkside - a minimal track with a few bleeps for orchestration. 'This Is The Right Time' has uplifting vocals over a basically rough rhythm track, though overall it has a dark feeling to it. 'Anything V 2.1' is by far the standout cut, and no doubt what this is being bought for. A lot slower than much of the hardcore around at the moment, this is eerie to a frightening degree. The track rolls along, hypnotizing as it goes, with string sections and a familiar but well out together break. Moody is not the word."
