==Overview==
==Overview==
''Dig'' was released in late [[1990]], well in advance of the [[1991]] LP ''[[Thrumdrone]]'', and is currently out of print.  It contains the ''Thrumdrone'' versions of "[[Mr. Blue Veins]]" and "[[Octopus]]", as well as the non-LP track "[[Juice Dawg]]", which later appeared on the ''[[Blue Food & Black Sparks]]'' EP.  The disc also features what may be the only officially-released live track in the band's history - "[[No Thanks To Eve]]", which later appeared in a studio rendition on a single.
