Five years in the making, The Unheard Music is better and more coherent than anyone had a right to expect, with an elegaic tone that suggests it might have been called The Last Slamdance. It starts like the visual version of an in-depth Roiling Stone piece, with fine sound footage of John Doe and Exene plumbing the Hank Williams songbook, Billy Zoom working out on his clarinet and D. J. Bonebrake demonstrating polyrhythms in his kitchen to the beat of percolating coffee.
