Punk rock group FLESHTONES perform the song "Soul City," as tiny black & white cut-out figures, (with hand-tinted flesh tones), against a flickering background of brilliant color. In the film, Jones 'recycled' the same basic movements of his subjects by reconstructing totally new motions from the same severely limited amount of footage.
