Want to see an entire generation of grown men act like children? Play the opening theme from 1979's "The Warriors." Barry de Vorzon's concoction of swirly synths, smattering of electric piano, and steady tempo rolling along like a subway, is a sure thing to get fists in the air, and shouts of enthusiasm.
A big part of The Warriors appeal is the soundtrack, which was reissued recently. It`s equal parts exhilarating, funky, poignant and cheesy. Just like the movie.
The cover of 60's classic "Nowhere to Run" is like Michael McDonald doing the "Hot Lunch Jam" from "Fame." The catchy salsa disco "In Havana" has 70's strings, and bizarrely enough, Chevy Chase on backing vocals. Then again, he was Steely Dan's original drummer. Just thought I'd also point out this was co-produced by a man named Artie Ripp.
"Echoes In My Mind" by Mandrill could be Sly Stone leading Earth, Wind, and Fire. This contains so much funky, nocturnal Summer spirit, you can practically smell sweat and see neon lights flashing.
Hearing guitar genius Joe Walsh's "In the City," automatically makes you think of them walking victorious but downcast on the beach into the Coney Island morning sun. This is a slightly more discofied version than the one he did with the Eagles. But it's just as melodic, affecting and still has that killer slide guitar.
"Love Is a Fire" by Genya Raven sounds like every 80's Kiss song, especially the line "Beginning to feel my temperature rise." Cheese icon Desmond Child bellows "Last of an Ancient Breed," which has that melodramatic Meat Loaf quality, even if he was probably aiming for Bruce. Although the lyric "Ride the devil's steed" is more Tenacious D than Springsteen. Perhaps the ultimate song for caucasian men who like to high-five and wear doo-rags.
Who would've thought a movie about gangs during a turbulent time in N.Y.C. (and that inspired riots in some cities) could provoke such warm feelings of innocence and a nagging sense of nostalgia? Is the current state of the world that f@#$#ked up, or are we yearning for our childhood? Either way, can you dig it?

A very solid rock soundtrack that holds together as a unified
whole. The album is tethered by two great highlights: Joe
Walsh's first take on "In the City" (which he later re-recorded
with the Eagles for their "Long Run album; the version here
is better) and Desmond Child's "Last of an Ancient Breed" which
is undoubtedly the best Springsteen imitation ever recorded--better
than a lot of what Springsteen himself was recording at the
same time.

This CD is amazingly awesome. I love the sound of every track on here, it just suits the tone and feel of the film, and the songs are very cool on their own. The Warriors is easily one of the greatest films of all time, and the theme is one of the best I've ever heard, it just builds into this really techno rock sound, it's awesome. A must have for any 70's enthusiast or rock fan.

Music from a great movie--and more.
The composer has said this movie had the first score using a synthesizer. I don't know how much truth is in that, but the score's brilliant use of it makes it all that more... Read more

Awesome
This is one of my favorite movies, so obviously I had to purchased the CD. After all, part of the awesomeness of this movie is the music. Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide...

Wish more of the score was on this
Great cd to have but it is very short. I wish more music was included on this but maybe one day.

I refuse to pay for things I don't want
This is a good soundtrack, but here's the problem:
I already have the Eagles' version of "In The City," and even if I didn't think it's better than Walsh's solo version,... Read more

The Warriors
Good CD but there are tunes on the disc that are not on the movie. That part is disappointing. Overall, cool!

Excellent collection
The year was 1979,
music was the leader of expressionalism where culture and ideas clashed with one another. This soundtrack MIMICKS everything in the actual movie. Read more

Incomplete album
This album gets 2 stars based on the simple fact that Amii Stewart's "Knock on Wood" isn't on the soundtrack. Rediculous
