5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent soundtrack, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Once Were Warriors (1994 Film) (Audio CD)

This is my favorite soundtrack. It is unfortunate that corporate consolidation of the music industry has meant that we can only get access to such excellent artists when they happen to be on a soundtrack. Maona and the Moa Hunters, in particular, lay down some excellent tracks with great politics. They have two other cd's out in New Zealand, which are not available in the US. The title song is also worth noting, as is the interspersed traditional music that works really well with the more modern tracks. Overall, it is a great mix.

But, when I saw the film in the theater in '94(?), I was so taken with the organic mix of traditional, modern and island reggae flavors in the music, that I scoured every store until I found it. It remains the only soundtrack I've bought.
My favorite track is 'What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?'
I think you'll love it too. Makes you want to dance.

What an outstanding movie. Very moving and realistic. The culture is wonderful and the music is just as good. This one is a classic for your dvd collection!
