Filmworks II: Music for an Untitled Film by Walter Hill features the second release of scores for film by John Zorn. The album was originally released on the Japanese Toys Factory label in 1995 and subsequently re-released on Zorn's own label, Tzadik Records, in 1996. It features the music that Zorn wrote and recorded for Trespass which not used in favor of a score by Ry Cooder.
The AllMusic review by Joslyn Layne notes that "Overall, it is very atmospheric, with sections of drawn-out tones that slowly build theater mists in the background of a deserted sense of waiting. Balancing stretches of this kind are sections of bent, mellow country... Lacking contrast, this one is definite background music, and although well done, it is also probably the least interesting of Zorn's film scores".
