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.[1]

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".[2]
