Past_members =Al Jourgensen Chris Connelly Bill Rieflin Stephen Mallinder Richard H. Kirk Acid Horse was a one-off collaborative
side project between two industrial pioneers, Ministry and Cabaret Voltaire. Only one single, "No Name, No Slogan", was released in1989 onWax Trax! records. The band name is a combination of the slang terms forLSD (acid) andheroin (horse), as well as a play on the title of the then-popularacid house movement.Like with many other Ministry side projects, such as PTP and the
Revolting Cocks , the band member's identities are masked bypseudonyms . The members are as follows:*Alien Dog Star -
Al Jourgensen
*Gallopin' Scorpiosaddlebutt -Chris Connelly
*Biff -Bill Rieflin
*Tennessee King -Stephen Mallinder
*Harold Sandoz -Richard H. Kirk Musically, Acid Horse resembles fellow Ministry side project PTP, in that it blends an upbeat dance-like electronic rhythm with catchy guitar-work. The lyrics come off in a serious, yet slightly comical tone - a trademark of many Ministry side projects.
