The soundtrack to the 1979 cult movie The Warriors features Barry De Vorzon’s ominous instrumental score interweaved with dark disco and foreboding funk. This mixture perfectly sets the tone for a comic book-esque storyline about New York City gang warfare of the late ‘70s. The anxiety-riddled “Theme From ‘The Warriors’” opens with heavy electric guitar riffs filtered through an undulating phaser effect as menacing synth lines are chased by steadily gaining drumbeats. Mandrill’s rare soul-funk track “Echoes In My Mind” is easily the album’s smoothest jam and they couldn’t have picked a better tune at the time to help characterize the deadly all-female gang The Lizzies than Genya Ravan’s “Love Is a Fire.” Even though the most intimidating gang, The Baseball Furies, got taken out a little too easily in the film, De Vorzon’s “Baseball Furies Chase” recalls the panic of the pursuit with plodding rhythms and pulsing synthesizers.
