Spillane was one of the first Zorn pieces I ever heard back in the early '90s. The cinematic and narrative qualities of the composition caught my attention immediately. It was probably also around that time that I first started checking out William Burroughs. In fact, I started reading a lot of really amazing shit after I graduated from college. Interzone is Zorn's latest file card piece that pays tribute to Burroughs and Brion Gyson.
