Abstract

The article focuses on the soundtrack album for the 1996 film *Bound*, directed by the Wachowskis in their feature debut, with a score composed by Don Davis. The album, released by La-La Land Records, features 24 tracks totaling 62 minutes and showcases a blend of classic noir elements, sultry jazz, and suspenseful motifs that reflect the film’s themes of romance and danger. Notable tracks include "Closet Diving," "Caesar Bizarro," and the exclusive "Illicit Felicity," which highlights Davis’s orchestral range and nods to other musical influences. This release, limited to 1,000 copies, represents a rare example of a memorable score from an independent film era. [Extracted from the article]
