== Background ==
GBM(I) was released on to the Robot Selling Device digital store on August 12th, 2011. A similar release, RZ VF, which compiled an instrumental version of The Residents' 2001 Vileness Fats re-score into a single track, was released the following day. The releases were virtually unannounced until two days later, when both releases were promoted on The Residents' Facebook page.

== Release Notes ==
The Residents recorded The Gingerbread Man in 1995. It was an interactive CDROM project. By typing away on a computer keyboard one could create "music videos" to go along with the music. It was also released as a normal, though short, CD. So here the powers of RSD have managed it make it even shorter. But here you will find 20 minutes of delicious instrumental music with no lyrical content to get in your way. The Gingerbread Man Instrumental
