A lovely song on here by Richie Havens...I never saw the movie...bought the soundtrack for Havens and Clannad. Both Beautiful!

Despite my delight with certain specific tracks (Charlie Sexton's rendition of "Tennessee Plates", and Vangelis' "Song of the Sea"), the disk as a whole seems somehow less than the sum of its parts. Perhaps the choice of tracks to include contributes to this; I felt that Richie Havens' "Inside of You" was a little too sedate for the film and disk, and redundant in light of Wade Hubbard's "You Can Fly". Still, there are some very impressive tracks on this disk, and I'd have to give it a definite thumb's up.

I've never seen the movie WARRIORS OF VIRTUE. As a novelty, I would someday like to see it. However, I have listened to the WARRIORS OF VIRTUE SOUNDTRACK numerous times. I received a copy of it years ago when I was producing an international award-winning children's radio show. We received a couple of copies. We gave one away and kept one to play music from the show. Unfortunately, the music really didn't fit with the show and was rarely played. I ended up keeping the cd because I couldn't find anyone who wanted a copy of this used cd.

The music on the album is a strange conglomeration. There's some instrumental songs; a moving, semi-spiritual piece; some alternative-sounding tracks; and at least one rock song. Of the thirteen tracks on the album the only two I can really recommend are "Inside of You" by Richie Havens and "Song of the Seas" by Vangelis. For me, the rest of the tunes are forgettable.
