Big Dipper may have been under the radar, but the band, formed in '85,
was still a supergroup. When members of fidgety alt-rockers the
Embarrassment and the slightly more walloping Volcano Suns teamed to
create brainy songs about UFOs and sea monsters, they sounded like Jeopardy! contestants who'd spent their winnings on amplifiers and
cowbells. The three-CD box, Supercluster, includes early recordings, plus rarities
galore. Combined, these songs provide a clearer view of the quartet's
most heavenly offerings. B+
