Barry de Vorzon's bone-chilling compositions envelop hard rock and sub-disco funk with a gritty apocalyptic urge. Conjuring strange film images, "Theme from The Warriors," "The Fight," and "Baseball Furies Chase" are testosterone-laden instrumentals, combining sinister guitars and plodding drum work peppered with creepy-sounding keyboards. Adding laid-back soul texture is a smooth Mandrill rarity, "Echoes in My Mind," highlighting solid basslines popping over funky horns and catchy vocals. "In Havana," performed by Kenny Vance with Ismael Miranda, boasts deep-cut ethnic spicing and seamy horn work dressed in easy rhythms. Memorable audio clips from the mysterious female DJ informing rival gang factions of brutal clashes are placed between tracks, as well as the infamous battle cry "Warriors...come out to play-aay!" -- complete with clacking beer bottles. The film's exhausting conclusion is forever cemented to Joe Walsh's desperate survival anthem "In the City," as our heroes walk triumphantly into a dreary Coney Island sunrise. This dark slice of pop culture was available only on vinyl sources until 1995, when Polygram International released an import version on compact disc. ~ Craig Curtice Producer: Kenny Vance Engineer: Pat Martin; Joe Lopes   Associated Artists and Works California Dreams Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack   Technical Info Release Date : 11/08/2005 Original Release Date : 1979 Catalog ID : 000572702 Label : A&M Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 36m : 57s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00602498871225    Related Videos 500 Days of Summer: Sound...
