Option (8/94, p.120) - "...This hulking sonic collective just keeps morphing from one evolutionary phase to the next..."

Pigface is a constantly evolving collective under the direction of Martyn Atkins, who has worked with everyone from Public Image Limited to Ministry. This time around, the "band" features the talents of members of Silverfish, Psychic TV, Skinny Puppy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and lots of other big name artists.

The album opens with a sample that suggests that listening to this record every day for a month with make you appear more trustworthy. The album's first few tracks are deceptively lulling, and include a rap that features an absurdly cute appearance by Shonen Knife in which she sings "Fuck it up, Pigface." The album's tone changes subtly at its midpoint. Michael Gira from the Swans contributes his gravel-like voice to "Empathy." "Magazine" is a heavy rocker, which along with "Slut/Blood/Pain-The Attempted Restraint of the Cosmos," is sung/screeched by Hope Nicholls. "Psalm Springs Eternal" begins as a mock-gospel track sung in a jokingly devout tone by Atkins before devolving into full-on crunch, while "Steamroller" suggests an amphetamine-driven fight between Steppenwolf and White Zombie. Given the wide range of artists involved, NOTES FROM THEE UNDERGROUND is an unusually cohesive album that successfully manages to intensify over the course of its all-too-brief 48 minutes.
