Midnight Oil
Diesel and Dust (Columbia/Legacy)Down Under's antipodal Clash bled its commercial high-water mark after touring the aboriginal outback with the native Warumpi Band. The gently proselytizing hourlong DVD doc demands its own soundtrack, while the original disc, remastered on a bubble of analog bass, still blisters acoustic on "Beds Are Burning," "Dreamworld," and "The Dead Heart." Ageless global warning: "Put Down That Weapon."
