Originally composed for an untitled film by director Walter Hill (Last Man Standing, The Warriors), the second installment in Zorn's Film Works series marches listeners across a surrealist desert filled with ghostly, yawning caves; entrail-eating vultures; and bleached skeletons hanging by their necks, gently stirring in the waves of heat radiating off the sand. While it is easy to pick up on the Morricone influences that sift through the tracks, the attentive ear can also discern the ghost of Toru Takemitsu in "Heroin Fix" and even elements of John Williams's Star Wars score in the "Two Interiors" cue. The perfect atmosphere in which to read a Cormac McCarthy novel. --Michael Woodring
