Musically Scuffle is superior to other tracks in Filmworks 2: Music for An Unti. Exploring is simple, dignified and effective, John Zorn refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Rattlesnakes For Sergio Leone one of the best in my collection. After few listenings I started to like Two Interiors more and more. Stealth - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. First time I heard Action was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Dumping The Body is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. The Trunk actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on John Zorn’s face. Escape Attempt motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Arrival - A catchy, upbeat tune. Prying At The Windows is a striking and quite long song. I like Arsenal because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. King James (1:07) a good melody.

The opening track Conspiracy is very much like you would expect from other albums. The Plot Part 1 is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. The Plot Part 2 gives good insight into the truths. As always, John Zorn’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Lucky Run is the albums biggest surprise. From the moment you listen to Vengence Is Mine you’re hooked. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Some of the arrangements found on Filmworks 2: Music for An Unti are surprisingly edgy. Opening track Outside shows the best of John Zorn. A fantastic track full of wonder. Alternate Ending/End Title - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Arsenal Dance Mix is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction.
