Review from Vitalweekly.net
'Gene P' was released as a cassette in 1980, and
among the true Bianchi devotees old = best.
On the first track (both tracks are untitled)
Bianchi uses tape-loops of what could vaguely
sound like gamelan music, or wind chimes. Its
music with not many changes, music that is not
loud and actually quite pleasing.
The other side is more experimental. It uses vinyl,
scratchy vinyl that is, with the needle jumping
all over the place. Its a bit much experiment
for the sake of experiment for me here. A most
typical work from the years of cassette releases.
Had it not been by Maurizio Bianchi, would it
see a re-issue on CD in 2010? Most likely not.
That first track? Yes, absolutely.

M.B. - Gene-P
Vote 7/10
Un elemento distintivo della Menstrual Recordings
è l'elegante taglio grafico che correda i propri
manufatti. Non fa eccezione l'ultima sfornata
di CD quasi tutti appannaggio di Maurizio Bianchi.
Il primo della serie è la ristampa di una cassetta
privata che il rumorista milanese realizzò nel
1980 secondo lo spirito "DIY" di allora. Requisito
questo che emerge ancora dallo stile casalingo
di "Gene-P", dal grumoso sapore vintage delle
grezze tessiture analogiche. Avrei una teoria
circa l'origine del titolo, da tradurre forse
come una trascrizione di Genesis P-Orridge per
omaggiare il padre della musica postindustriale?
La massa cartilaginosa di droni palpitanti che
pervade l'opera cementa tale tesi, greve saturazione
di apnee catatoniche tesa ad azzardare teoremi
di ricerca estrema mai dipanati.
