Echoes in My Mind

Recorded by Mandrill for the soundtrack to Walter Hill's 1979 film The Warriors, Echoes in My Mind was produced by Kenny Vance, with Joe Ferla serving as associate producer and recording engineer. The arrangement involved Carlos Wilson, Rob Mounsey and Paul Griffin, with additional engineering contributions from Pat Martin, Joe Lopes, Jim Crotty, Howie Lindman, Jeff Hendrickson and Boris Menart. Originally released on A&M Records as part of The Warriors soundtrack in 1979, Echoes in My Mind introduced Mandrill's distinctive ensemble sound to the film's depiction of New York street culture. The six-minute recording also received a promotional twelve-inch release, extending its presence beyond the soundtrack album. Echoes in My Mind remains associated with the enduring cult reputation of The Warriors and its soundtrack. Its inclusion as the closing track on Mandrill's 1997 compilation Fencewalk: The Anthology brought the recording back into circulation alongside the band's influential 1970s catalogue.
