The Tzadik Archival Series presents long out-of-print reissues and music never previously released from the Zorn vaults. This long-awaited second volume in a continuing retrospective od his soundtracks for film features a dark and brooding work, exquistely recorded for an untitled Walter Hill Film.

A film fanatic since his youth, cinema has always been a central element in Zorn's life and work. In the past ten years he has scored for the images of many directors from the famous (Godard, Cronenberg, Walter Hill to the infamous (Raul Ruiz, Maria Beatty, Hiroki Ryuichi).

The first Zorn Film Works release sold over 20,000 copies, and the music on Volume 1 took on a second life after the release, turning up in new film and dance projects in Hong Kong, Taipei and Israel, and it was even used for a Japanese porno film and a Portugese Volvo commercial!
