Horse Penis Pants

Editorial Reviews
Grinding Into Emptiness
...whether it arouses you or not, this material is well worth checking out.

Digimusic
...a sort of sick sensuality hidden in these brutal & extreme (but extremely catching too) textures...

Album Description
H.P.P. is a new discovery from Italy. This is not your typical Italian sounding electronic project. H.P.P. incorporates harsh, brutal rhythms and sexual defiant moods to convey a feeling of distorted sex and raw and tenacious machine heavy rhythm. Drawing from influences in the power noise scene like Sonar, Noisex, and Imminent Starvation, H.P.P. delivers a fresh yet harsh sound in the realm of power industrial. CD comes in 7" vinyl packaging.

Band Members: Maurizio Landini

2 out of 5 stars Pretty boring power noise from Italy.......2000-12-26

Now, I have to be fair. Power noise, which I'm a fan of, is pretty repetitive. That's the point, after all - it's pounding and insistent, meant to bludgeon the listener's ears. But there's a fine line between good repetition and bad repetition, and it seems HPP (Maurizio Landini) doesn't know where it is.

Horse Penis Pants is a horrible name, but I was expecting something good out of the album anyway. I certainly found it in the first track, a wonderfully spastic mix of self-interrupting, jump-starting typewriter beats that create a chaotic atmosphere.

From there, though, the album goes downhill. Its randomness dissolves into monotony, using the same sounds in essentially the same constructions to yield really similar tracks. They just pass by, not really annoying (the album is competent), but not grabbing attention or begging to be remembered, either.

I think Landini is trying to match Sonar's famous repetition, but he fails to understand that Dirk Ivens' understanding of timing, tempo, volume, arrangement, etc. is what makes him so good. Landini lacks all that, and Horse Penis Pants suffers for it.
