      Punk, No Wave, and high art collide in the soundtrack of "Downtown 81," a film starring renowned graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The almost ill-fated project was revived in 1999, where Basquiat’s role was completed by actor/poet/musician Saul Williams, thus renewing appreciation for the late Basquiat’s work. Once obscure musicians including Basquiat’s own group "Gray," Television, Lydia Lunch, Kid Creole, DNA, and Suicide offer a multifaceted diversity characteristic of the artistic revolution of the early '80s New York artistic and musical atmosphere whose influence continues to affect much modern music today.
