The album still seems to be in print, but I'm not sure what became of the actual group. PS - I've been having major problems lately with the over-use and mis-appropriation of the term DOCUMENTARY. In this case, the goal to create a song in two days and the filming of the musicians trying to achieve that goal are of the same process - there's no real outer perspective presented. To me, this is a television show with fancy lighting, intricate set-up shots with a production quality linked to the overall concept - it's a show not a documentary - in the same way that "Honey Boo Boo" or "Survivor" are not documentaries but rather TV shows. Filming is not necessarily "documenting" in an artistic sense An obscure British band The Beatles recorded their first album “Please Please Me” in 9 hours and 45 minutes.
