AllMusic Review by Tom Schulte
PantyChrist is a dense mixture of samples, sounds, and rhythms. The instrumentation is only voice, sampler, turntables, and guitar. The trio behind this small arsenal is San Francisco's sampler Bob Ostertag (John Zorn, Fred Frith, Lynn Breedlove, etc.), Tokyo noise DJ Otomo Yoshihide (Yamatsuka Eye, Boredoms, Ground Zero, etc.), and New York drag queen Justin Bond (Hedwig and the Angry Inch). The resultant mix seethes with anger and sociopathic content. At their most wrong, PantyChrist mixes the simple, bright melodies of childhood with the obscenely suggestive notions of an unleashed pervert. The record was released on Negativland's label and has that group's enthusiastic support, so you know no holds are barred in the "culture jamming" iconoclasm displayed in these decidedly non-PC audio collages. And definitely don't let someone like your parents or the FBI find PantyChrist in your possession.
