Altered Zones

Jagjaguwar is re-issuing the Supreme Dicks' entire discography next month as a four CD box set called Breathing and Not Breathing. The Amerst, MA quartet haven't gotten as much love as their local contemporaries Dinosaur Jr., but their catalogue of warped Reagan-era guitar rock is way weirder, marked by an always present sense of paranoia. The retrospective will include the band's studio albums-- The Unexamined Life and The Emotional Plague, which were both released by legendary noise rock purveyor Homestead Recordings-- plus import only rarities albums Workingman's Dick and an expanded This Is Not A Dick EP. In addition, the two studio albums will see double LP editions for the first time. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
