"The Unseen (A Detroit Beat Tape) explores the soul and roots of Detroit Hip-Hop production, mirroring the sketchpad-style format of a beat tape. Loosely acting as a prequel to the LA-based All Ears documentary, The Unseen provides rare insights into a scene that has remained distant from the public eye, while giving birth to some of the culture's richest and most influential sounds. The film [provides a] glimpse [into] the hidden and elusive characteristics inherent in a city often depicted in a one-dimensional light." - Gus Sutherland
Exploring the life and career of one of the UK's most successful songwriters - the man behind the much-loved songs of The Housemartins, The Beautiful South and latterly Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott. The film also explores the causes that matter to him the most - including the miners' strike and the related community in the present day.
The 2004 compilation 'The Best of The Housemartins' included a bonus DVD containing the music videos to eight of their hits including 'Sheep', 'Happy Hour', 'Think for a Minute', 'Caravan of Love', 'Five Get Over Excited', 'Build', 'Me and the Farmer' and 'There Is Always Something There to Remind Me', all with intros from the band.
