Music reviews of Warriors (Reis)
Music Review: You Warriors are good. Real good.
Rating: 4 Stars
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?
