Filmworks Anthology (subtitled 20 Years of Soundtrack Music) is a compilation album featuring selections from the first fifteen Filmworks albums by John Zorn and one previously unreleased track which was issued on the Tzadik label in 2005.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "For those intimidated by the sheer number of volumes comprising Zorn's Film Works series (18 as of October 2006), this is a great place to start. The full range of Zorn's moods, colors, textures, and, of course, humor comes across in these cues".
