The Keep Score by Tangerine Dream.
Written by Kit Rae (and friends) in 2005. Last update November 2014. Dedicated to Edgar Froese (1944-2015)
The original soundtrack to the 1983 surreal, supernatural horror film The Keep, directed by Michael Mann, is the Holy Grail of unreleased Tangerine Dream film scores. TD is a group of German musical composers, one of the founding pioneers of electronic music since the days of its infancy in the late 1960s. They carved a unique musical category all their own with a series of studio and live concert albums throughout the 1970s, then moved into film soundtrack work in the late 1970s and 1980s, which gave them a much w >the 2013 Restoration Project version, The Keep Original Soundtrack, the Complete Recordings - 30th Anniversary Edition and the Tangerine Tree bootleg The Keep: An Alternative View.

Film director and producer Michael Mann, the 1981 Soundtrack to Thief , and Tangerine Dream members (L to R) Johannes Schmoelling, Chris Franke, and Edgar Froese.
As a k > Legend (the American version of the Ridley Scott film) , Heartbreakers, Near Dark, and Miracle Mile . Their music was almost the soundtrack to my childhood. I often listened to it while drawing or painting, reading novels, or reading Heavy Metal , an illustrated magazine of adult science fiction, horror, and fantastic stories that was popular in the 1980's (and is still being published today). The Keep could have come right out of the pages of Heavy Metal , or its French progenitor, Métal Hurlant . Heavy Metal artist Enki Bilal even helped design the golem-like villain of the film.
It may have seemed like an odd choice to use a German band known for their electronic music to score a WWII period gothic horror film about Nazis awakening an ancient evil in Romania, but the same could also be said of the choice to use Tangerine Dream to score Mann's previous Chicago crime drama, 1981's Thief , but it worked brilliantly there. After Edgar Froese's death in 2015, Michael Mann wrote down his thoughs about about the experience of working with the band on that soundtrack.
"It was on my first picture, Thief, and Berlin was still a divided city. I had culled music ideas from Tangerine Dream's Alpha Centauri and Phaedra , that I referred to constantly during shooting. In post, after shipping a dupe of the film, many phone conversations and cues back and forth, we spent a week together on the final in their studio. Their studio was amazing. It was a gutted cinema near the Berlin Wall.
Earlier, I had been divided between choosing music regionally native to Thief , Chicago Blues, or going with a completely electronic score. The choice was intimidating because two very different motion picture experiences would result. Right then, the work of Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Faust was an explosion of experimental and rich material from a young generation coming of age out of the ruins and separating itself from WWII Germany. It was the cutting edge of electronic music. And, it had content. It wasn't sonic atmospheres. There was nothing in the UK or the States like it.
Further, there was a relationship between the blues and Froese because he had started out as a blues guitarist. Even though their music was electronic, it had a twelve bar blues structure to most of it. More importantly he, as an artist and a man, was connected to the material reality of life on the street and he found musical inspiration there, as does the Blues. Culturally, he was attuned to the politics of the '60s and '70s. Berlin was still steeped in its recent history and its history… the Wall, shrapnel damage to building facades…was still evident.
The score was adventurous with some real voyages of discovery. Working with analog sequencers and synthesizers we were also processing sound effects, which I had brought in a suitcase on mag, so that ocean waves might crash in G Major, the same key as the cue. It was a wonderful artistic collaboration. Thinking back to what was at the time cutting edge technology but so primitive now, it was more fun. They were innovating processes and re-combining components to do stuff on frontiers that Moog never envisioned, as new ideas showed up.
It was Edgar's open spirit and embrace of possibilities that made it all occur. A somewhat unique soundtrack for its time was the result. Working together with band-mates Johannes Schmoelling and Christopher Franke with Froese in the lead in a gutted movie theater, hard by the Berlin Wall, it seems like not so long ago and it was the best of times."
Mann's positive experience led him to work with the band again for The Keep . Amazingly, the music Tangerine Dream composed for that film, with a few exceptions, does not sound dated today. Many of TD's 1980s soundtracks sound firmly entrenched in the period, but most of the music in The Keep would be perfectly at home in a modern film. The Night in Romania music, Logos music used in the scene where the German soldiers remove the silver cross and awaken the evil, and perhaps the end credits music, each have elements that date them to the early 1980s, but otherwise the rest of the score has held up well.
Tangerine Dream members in 1983 (L to R): Christopher Franke– synthesizers, sequencers, electronic percussion, electronic equipment Johannes Schmoelling– synthesizers/keyboards, piano, electronic equipment Edgar Froese– synthesizers/keyboards, guitar, electronic equipment.
The Tangerine Dream members at this time were Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Christopher Franke, and Johannes Schmoelling. They had a busy year in 1982 recording the studio album White Eagle in January, touring in support of the album in February-March through Australia, recording the Daydream/Moorland music for long running German TV series Tatort (Crime Scene) for the April episode Miriam , and Edgar recording his solo soundtrack to the film Kamikaze 1989 in May-June. According to the Production handbook for The Keep , the filming schedule was such that TD had to start composing music before filming actually began (in September) and before there was a finished script. As films are shot and edited into a rough cut, many directors add a temporary score using existing music until the composers have completed their film score. Mann did that both before and during the filming as a rough cut was being assembled, but took it a step further as he already had in mind to use several existing TD compositions, as well as the music of other composers. This was Mann's standard procedure, as he stated in 1983.
"Music is very important to me; I like to know what my music is going to be before I shoot. I don't like to score afterwards. I have half the music cues in mind before I shoot." - Director Michael Mann in 1983.
". We have a terrific relationship. I think their work on Thief was very successful. This music is very different. This (The Keep) is much more melodic. There are different influences. We're using Thomas Tallis, we're using a lot of choirs processed through a vocoder. I've got in my brain maybe seven or eight hours of their music" - Director Michael Mann in 1983.
After initial discussion with Mann about the film score in September 1982, Tangerine Dream then toured Europe in October and November, playing several new compositions that would end up being used in the The Keep . They released some of the music recorded for their London concert on the album Logos Live, just a few weeks after the tour ended, and in December they visited The Keep set at Pinwood Studios. When Michael Mann heard Logos Live he decided to use several sections of that music in The Keep . Principal photography for the film was completed the day before Christmas. The day after Christmas Mann watched the animated version of the children's book The Snowman when it premiered on UK television. The film featured a song called Walking in the Air by Howard Blake. Mann was so impressed with the music, thinking it embodied a theme of innocence that was the perfect fit for his adult fairy tale, he immediately asked his music editors to track down the composer. As it turns out one of his music editors, Bob Badami, had worked with Blake previously.
Blake was contacted about recording a version of it for Mann's film (or, according to Blake, he was asked to work with TD on a new version). He was busy scoring another film for Paramount at the time, so Mann asked of him permission for TD to create their own synthesizer version to play over the ending of The Keep . Blake granted permission, although reportedly the actual legal permissions to do this that came about later were more complicated.
An approximately two hour long rough cut of the film was assembled and the final score composition and recording took place in TD's Berlin studios during the film's post production period in February 1983. Working closely with Mann as they had done on Thief, TD composed and recorded a large amount of music for the film, including multiple versions of the Thomas Tallis Gloria (Puer Natus Est Nobis ) music . Actor Scott Glenn's voice was used with a vocoder on several of the tracks. Since the final cut was not yet complete TD also composed several alternate pieces of music for the film. There were mutilple >A long version that ran over seven minutes was eventually chosen to play over the original ending of the film. Around the time TD finished their work, special effects technician Wally Veevers died in the middle of special and optical effects work on the finale, causing a six month delay in post production. By the time the music was edited into the finished film in late 1983, it had been shortened and a significant portion of what TD had composed was not used. Some of this music, in modified form, may be heard on the 1997 official soundtrack release from TDI.
That TDI release contained mostly unused music, but some of that music sounds like it may have actually been composed much later and had nothing at all to do with The Keep . There is the possibility that some of it was intended to be in the the original two hour cut of the film, but got cut when Paramount wanted the film shortened. There could also be other reasons why Mann chose not to use this music. It may simply have been too different from what he envisioned and what the visual style of the film dictated. Had the original music heard on the TDI album been used, the film would have come across as very different and much less dreamlike I think. Much of the final score, and probably also some of the temp score, came from TD 's vast catalog of existing work. Mann constantly listened to their music before and during filming, as well as the music of performance artist Laurie Anderson. Anderson was also called in to help mix the music score for The Keep at the last minute - uncredited (Actor Scott Glenn's odd speaking style in the film was also based on Anderson's spoken word performance style). From Tangerine Dream's existing music catalogue, here are the sources Michael Mann used in The Keep :
•Rubycon Part II - The intro and choir sections from the 1975 album track were used at several points in the film to show the village being infected by the dark power released from the keep, and in the scene where Cuza makes his bargain with Molasar.
•Logos - The 1982 live Dominion Theatre London concert recordings, including sections of Logos Part 1 (Logos Blue section and Night in Romania section) and Logos Part II (Logos black section). Used for the cross removal and release scenes, and as Molasar's theme music, specifically the "holocaust" scene where Kaempffer walks through the burnt remains of his soldiers and confronts Molasar. 51 minutes of the London concert had already been released on Logos Live in December 1982, but the film also included other music from the full two hour concert that was not on the official release. Although not composed specifically for the film, this music was composed for the tour, just a few months prior to TD officially scoring The Keep.
•Flying Kamikazee - an Edgar Froese composition from his 1982 soundtrack to the film Kamikazee 1989 composed a few months before TD began work on The Keep.
•Mojave Plan - Select brief instrument and percussion sounds from TD's 1982 studio album White Eagle.
Note that the film versions were remixed and edited differently than the original album tracks by the film music editors Bob Badami and Gordon Greenway, with additional score mixing by Laurie Anderson in late 1983. There was also nearly thirty minutes of additional original TD music used in the film and the two film trailers that has never appeared on any official release before or after the films release. Some of that music d > The Keep: An Alternative View , from the Tangerine Tree fan bootleg series. Various instrument sounds and bits of music heard in the film also appeared in later TD works such as the live Poland concert in 1983 - specifically the tracks Rare Bird (at the 2:06 minute mark) and Poland (at the 22:00 minute mark), and the 1984 Firestarter soundtrack - specifically the track Between Realities , heard when Glaeken activates his staff inside the keep and charges it with the energy of the crosses.
The three fan favorite tracks in the film are actually TD 's arrangements of music written by other composers - Brian Eno/David Byrne, Thomas Tallis, and Howard Blake. These tracks are, respectively, the opening credit music (Mea Culpa), the choral music used when Molasar first appears in smoky-spirit form (Gloria), the closing credits music (Walking in the Air). The latter two were specifically requested by Michael Mann.
The band members have not had much to say about composing the music for the film in interviews during or since it was released. Edgar Froese talked about the film and played a few of the unused film tracks on German radio in 1987 and 1989. Chris Franke discussed film soundtracks and The Keep briefly in a 2006 interview by John Diliberto in Totally Wired magazine.
"Each film is different. Some give us all the freedom we want. Some work with us, they play instruments and we work out tunes together (Michael Mann plays guitar on Thief). Sometimes to be different we create more work than is necessary. We want to be different, break certain routines and cliches of film music that are worn out. We try to create counterpoints, do the opposite of what the film is doing or else sometimes you don't even hear the music. In The Keep there was a scene with a very sad feel but we did cool music to it. Or there was very fast action and we did slow motion music".
MOORLAND - The film music heard in the bootleg tracks Awakening / Sailing to Romania and Glaeken and Eva was composed and recorded for The Keep in February 1983. It has never been officially released, but a different arrangement called Moorland was composed several weeks after this for a long running German TV series called Tatort (Crime Scene) , for the April 1983 episode Miriam . TD also previously had hit single in the 1982 German charts for theme music they composed for the June '82 Tatort episode Das Mädchen auf der Treppe, a remix of the song White Eagle .
Daydream/Moorland was released in 1983 by Virgin records as a 45 single. Some of the same backing music from this track was also used for the track Alley Walk , also composed in 1983, for the Wavelength film soundtrack released in 1984. The film version of Moorland is very different from the Tatort track. For The Keep , just the keyboard melody from the second half of Moorland (starting around 2:10) are heard (a completely different performance), along with synth chords and counter melodies, creating a different tone for the track, and making it an even more moody and effective piece of music than the Moorland version. Used primarily as Glaeken's theme, it is one of the fan favorite compositions from The Keep . A remixed version of Moorland appears on the 2000 compilation album Antique Dreams , and on the 2007 download release, Antique Dream Land .
THE COVER ARRANGEMENTS.
OPENING CREDITS MUSIC – This is Tangerine Dream doing essentially a cover of the music from Brian Eno and David Byrne’s song Mea Culpa from their 1981 album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts . Michael Mann was a fan of Brian Eno, and later used Eno's music in his film Heat . Edgar Froese was also friends with Brian Eno. This is most likely a case where Michael Mann liked the Eno/Byrne piece and asked TD to perform it, or something similar, for the soundtrack. What is strange in the case of The Keep is that neither Eno/Byrne, nor the song is listed in the film credits, whereas Howard Blake's Walking In The Air is given proper credit. Perhaps Eno and Byrne asked not to be listed in the credits, perhaps the film makers could not get permission to use the music, or perhaps no effort was made to get permissions to cover the song and it was hoped that no one would notice the similarity. It is also possible TD came up with nearly the exact same music themselves , as they composed a sequencer pattern with a similar feel in 1982 at the 15:04 mark of Mohave Plan from the White eagle album, but musically was very different. Considering Eno was an electronic musician well known to both Mann and Froese, and considering the highly praised Eno/Byrne album was released only a year before Mann started work on The Keep, I doubt it was a coincidence. While TD's version does not have the voices and sound effects of the original track, the key and tempo are exactly the same, the sequencer and drum pattern play to exactly the same rhythm and beats, and both have a three note chord progression that changes on exactly the same beat, with the third sustained for two bars.
There is some debate if this is actually Tangerine Dream performing the music in the opening of the film or Eno and Byrne. The music is not exactly the same as the Mea Culpa recording. The sequencer synth track is a TD style sound, and while the drum pattern mimics the original Mea Culpa pattern, the electronic drum sound is very different, and similar to other Chris Franke drum rhythm sounds from the period. The track also includes the same type of whispered echo voices used on Ricochet Part 1 at the 6:25 mark (from TD's 1975 Ricochet Live album), and Mohave Plan at the 14:50 mark (from TD's 1982 White Eagle album) making it unmistakable that at least those sounds originated with TD. There is also the fact that the "music by Tangerine Dream" credit comes on screen just as this music starts. There has been nothing stated about this piece by anyone involved to know what the real story is behind the music.
GLORIA - This is Tangerine Dream's arrangement of the Gloria section of Missa Puer Natus Est Nobis (A Boy was Given to Us or Unto Us a Child is Born), a Christmas mass composed in 1554 by Thomas Tallis (often mistakenly credited to William Byrd, as in The Keep Wikipedia entry). Edgar Froese referred to this piece simply as Gloria in a radio interview, and it is listed as "Gloria from the Mass for Four Voices" in the film credits, so most bootlegs also call it Gloria. The female singer and the choir used are unknown. In the film the same short intro verse section of Gloria was repeated several times, enhanced by TD's angelic organ-synth tones, a vocoder choir, and hall reverb-echo. This was a track Michael Mann specifically asked TD to perform for the film. Here is an excerpt of the same section of Gloria performed by a choir.
The version released in 1997 on the official TDI soundtrack used the more correct title Puer Natus Est Nobis. That version is very different from the film version, and follows the original Tallis composition more faithfully. TD did not use the Gregorian chant flavor often used when performing this piece, but more of the operatic choir. It is interesting to note that this mass is a Christian song referencing the birth of Jesus, transposed over a scene of the spirit of Molasar, who was more demonic than Christ-like. In this section of the film it is unclear if this spirit is on the side of good or evil, and the juxtaposition of this angelic choral music over his slightly evil, ghostly image was designed to make his purpose ambiguous to the viewer.
END CREDITS MUSIC - This is Tangerine Dream's cover arrangement of Howard Blake's song Walking In The Air from the animated film The Snowman (©1982 Highbridge Music), and one of the fan favorite pieces of music from the film. This is another track Michael Mann specifically asked TD to perform for the film, or according to composer Howard Blake, Michael Mann told him both he and Tangerine Dream thought the song was a 'revelation' and wanted to use the melody throughout the film. I have doubts that Edgar Froese and Tangerine Dream wanted to cover music written by someone else for this film, so this was probably something Mann told Blake to get him on board with allowing the use. Here is what Blake said, from his own website:
In late 1982 I was scoring the American version of 'The Lords of Discipline' in Hollywood and working into the small hours to finish it. One night the phone rang in my suite in the Chateau Marmont. It was director/producer Michael Mann who told me about an extraordinary film he was making called 'The Keep', a strange and ambitious project that somehow combined Nazi occupation in Rumania with monsters and the supernatural. He had decided to have an all-electronic score and was working with 'Tangerine Dream'. They however had just heard 'Walking in the Air' which apparently had been a revelation to them. Michael asked if I could collaborate with them to incorporate my 'Snowman song' into the film. I explained that I was working flat out on a rewrite of 'Lords of Discipline' and would be tied up until the studio recording in January. I had however no objection to Tangerine Dream using the theme and was intrigued as to what they would do with it. They saw my theme as having a very special quality of innocence and transcendence which they felt would contrast with the overwhelming evil of the story and this is indeed how they used it - to some considerable effect. The theme 'Walking in the Air' appears at least four times within the soundtrack, worked in contrapuntally by the 'electronic rock group' Tangerine Dream: 1. The ship voyage 2. After the attempted rape of Dr. Cuza's daughter by Nazi soldiers 3. During the love-scene 4. At the resolution of the film, continuing through the credits.
You will note that a ccording to Blake, in addition to the end music, TD also used his theme in the Awakening/Sailing to Romania and Glaeken and Eva love scenes. This is very odd, because the former is TD's own composition, later released as Moorland , which does not use his chords or melody, and the latter was composed by Thomas Tallis in 1554. It has a similar singing voice, but not even remotely the same music. The only place Blake's music was used in the film is the end scene going into the film credits. TD's version is still very much in their own style and arrangement, but clearly follows the chord progression of Walking In The Air . One of the alternate endings of The Keep , where Eva enters the cave under the keep and revives Glaeken (photos shown below), features a 7 minute + version of this song that is simply beautiful to hear. The Highbridge Music credits (below) for this version of the song indicate it was recorded in February 1983, which is when the final film soundtrack score was recorded.

Book by E. Paul Wilson, script and direction by by Michael Mann. Starring Ian McKellen, Alberta Watson, Scott Glen. Editors included Bob Badami and Pamela Power.
THE OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK (OST) - Although Tangerine Dream sent soundtrack tapes to Virgin records in 1985, no OST of the actual film music was released at the time or since. There have been several bootleg soundtracks of The Keep circulating throughout the years that have included some of the actual film music, but no official film soundtrack recording of material exclusively from or used in the film has ever been released. However, some of The Keep bootlegs are very good, and do contain unreleased material that seems to come from the original music scoring sessions, and remixed/edited versions of music culled from the VHS or Laser Disk soundtracks. The 2013 Restoration Project release is by far the most complete and best quality version of the soundtrack, running at nearly 2 hours, and includes every major music cue heard in the film, and more. The Keep: An Alternative View from the Tangerine Tree bootleg series is the second best bootleg, although incomplete.
TD d >While it is very good music, it is simply not the music from the film, and comes nowhere near close to capturing the mood and feel of The Keep . Approximately six minutes of that material did appear in the film, but half of those six minutes of music was reworked in a different form for this release.
THE MYTHICAL AND LEGENDARY LOST 1984 OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK - There is a legend of a vinyl LP and cassette tape official soundtrack (OST) of the The Keep music that was in stores briefly in 1984, then immediately recalled and pulled from shelves. I remember seeing the OST album myself in m > Other prople have similar memories, and it is assumed what most people actually remember was the Laser Disk version of the film. Laser Disks were packaged in sleeves identical in size to vinyl LP records and were easy to confuse with them until you looked close. Often music/video stores sold both LD’s and LP’s in the same style racks, so to the novice the LD section could look like a vinyl LP record section.
I most certainly was not one of those that confused it with the Laser Disk of The Keep , as that d > I was also very familiar with the small number of films released on LD in 1984, as I was the first one of my group of friends to have a Laser Disk player at home. I remember friends on more than one occasion pointing out the LD excitedly to me in music/video stores, thinking it was a vinyl LP (we looked for the soundtrack LP every time we went in a music/video store). I would then sadly point out that no, it was actually just the Laser Disk . I never bought that version of the film, as I was waiting for the widescreen version, eventualy released on Laser Disk in 1995.
I am not the only person to remember seeing the LP soundtrack. The Keep author himself, F. Paul Wilson, also stated on his website in 2004 that he saw a copy of the LP soundtrack in a Sam Goody store (not the same one I saw it in) shortly after the film's release, but d >Adversary Cycle .
"I do not have it (the LP release). I saw it in Sam Goody shortly after the release of the film but I didn't buy it -- too pissed." - Author F. Paul Wilson in 2004.
Virgin Records listed the upcoming soundtrack in a 1984 catalogue, but they said it was never officially released. Tangerine Dream sent the soundtrack master tapes to Virgin in 1985, but they deny there ever was a real release. One internet source states that Virgin did make a small production run, and around 100 copies (another source states 250, and yet another 300) did get distributed to stores before the licensing issues cropped up causing a recall and cancellation of any future production. There are also accounts of unmarked test pressings that have circulated. It is also possible that what we all saw was a vinyl bootleg album, but it seems extremely unlikely that a bootleg could have been created less than a year after the film was released. The VHS and Laser Disk version had not yet even been released, so there was nothing available at the time to use as the source to make such a bootleg, other than Logos Live , or a copy of the actual film reels to rip some of the soundtrack music from. Also, legitimate retailers, especially large outfits like Sam Goodys, did not sell bootlegs.
It is almost an urban legend among Tangerine Dream fans now, but no matter how short lived and how small the actual run of this soundtrack was, it is odd that not one verifiable copy has surfaced in the past 30 years. Apparently we were all victims of the Mandela Effect or a mass hallucination! In 2001 a track surfaced that may be from the original LP, although this was not discovered until 2013, as told in this entry.
(above left) The supposed album cover art for the original 1984 release of The Keep , sent to me in 2005 by a person who tried to buy this LP record on ebay. It looks similar to what I remember seeing in mid 1984, although without seeing the back cover there is no way to verify if this was legitimate or just another bootleg. (above middle and right) The front and back cover art for the Laser Disk released by Paramount Home Video in December 1984, which is likely what most people mistakenly thought was an official soundtrack album.
SPECULATION ON THE OST CONTENTS - TD was well known for re-recording their film music for their OST releases rather than using the music recorded for the films. The purpose for doing this was to make the compositions and pacing flow better as a collection of music, to work within the LP/Cassette Tape/CD format time constraints, and to make the sound mix work better for standard sound systems, which are different than theater sound systems. This is understandable as the film music sometimes does not work as stand alone music without the visual element, but as was often the case, those re-recorded and remixed tracks were substantially different from the film versions, to the frustration of fans. In cases where material from their live concerts or studio albums was used in films, the resulting soundtracks rarely included that material, and if they d >example - almost everything on the Thief soundtrack). Sometimes these omissions and alterations are baffling and frustrate fans.
When TD released an official soundtrack of music composed for a film they often included music created for the film, but not used. That appears to be exactly the case with the eventual 1997 OST released by TDI , which only included a few minutes of music from the film. According to the liner notes - this is the only authorized soundtrack of the complete music material originally composed for the movie which was recorded in February 1983 . Some of that music is likely what would have been on the planned Virgin Records OST in 1984-85. For that reason, if the Virgin OST had been released, it would have probably been one of the most disappointing and frustrating Tangerine Dream soundtracks of all time! So why was most of the film music missing, and what would and would not have been included on that 35-45 minute long original OST? Here is our speculation.
It certainly would have consisted of much the same music later released on the OST of The Keep in 1997, which contained the original material composed for but not used in the film. This was music the TD wrote for the film and recorded for the OST during post production, but TD had long moved on to other projects by the time the final score mixing was done, and that is when the film was shortened, thus removing some of the composed music. Ancient Power plant, Challengers Arrival , and Voices from a Common Land were played on German Radio in 1987 and 1989. Edgar Froese stated at that time those were all tracks originally recorded for The Keep . The basic music for Night in Romania, Canzone , and the first few minutes of Supernatural Accomplice were also used in the film. The Challenger's Arrival is a remixed version of Evil Healing , which appeared on the First Mix bootleg in 1992. Challenger's Arrival bears little resemblance to the film version, but the synth chords and ascending tones from the middle section (minus drums and guitar) were used in the scene where Cuza makes his bargain with Molasar. I believe each of those tracks (the original un-tangentized versions) were from the cancelled 1984 soundtrack.
The Gloria music (Puer Natus Est Nobis) was public domain, so I'm sure TD's version was on the unreleased OST, just as it was on the 1997 TDI OST. Edgar played selections from the unreleased OST in the 1987 and 1989 radio broadcasts, including nearly the same version of Gloria that later appeared on the TDI release. Annoyingly, and typical for TD, this was a very different re-recorded version of what was heard in the film, not the actual film music.
Material taken from the 1982 live concerts that was used in The Keep had just been released by TD on the Logos Live album in December 1982, so it is possible that music would NOT have been on the original OST, and it was not on the 1997 OST.
The love theme music, re-worked as Moorland for the April episode of the 1983 German TV series Tatort , was also being released as a 45 single that year, so it is possible that music would NOT have been on the unreleased OST, and it was not on the 1997 OST.
The opening and closing tracks, Mea Culpa and Walking in the Air , were not composed by TD, so that music may have NOT been on the unreleased OST, and was not on the 1997 OST. The original composers would have gotten a cut of TD's soundtrack royalty, which is one reason this music may not have been included. Securing the rights to use this music in the film did turn out to be difficult, so there also may have been soundtrack issues with the company that held the publishing rights through CBS for Walking in the Air . Howard Blake granted permission to use his music in the film, but CBS already had a publishing rights deal with Highbridge Music and Faber Music for the song. Paramount or Virgin would have had to negotiate a royalty deal with them if they intended to use it on a soundtrack released by Virgin, and it would probably been expensive, as the CBS single for The Snowman was a very good seller in 1982. Paramount already expected the over-budget film to perform poorly, hence the practically non existent ad campaign and limited theatrical release for The Keep . It is likely they would not have been interested in spending even more money for soundtrack rights, considering the film bombed and was gone from most theaters only two weeks after release.
As noted, Edgar Froese played some of the unreleased material from the 1984-85 The Keep OST in 1987 and 1989 on German public radio broadcasts. I'm sure he was well aware by that time which sections of music from The Keep were fan favorites, but he did not play any of that music, other than Gloria . This is another bit of evidence to us that those fan favorite tracks were never part of the unreleased OST. TD composed and recorded most of the film score and the OST when the film was in post production in February 1983, when the film was far from being complete. Wally Veevers died February 19th, causing a six month delay in completing the film. The final sound mix and music editing of the film soundtrack was delayed until around July-August. TD had long moved on by this time, with Edgar recording his solo album Pinnacles in May, TD touring in June and spending the remainder of 1983 composing the soundtracks for Risky Business and Wavelength , composing and recording the album Hyperboria (recorded in August/released November), and touring in August and November, among other projects that year. They likely were unaware that most of the music they composed for The Keep was not used until they saw the finished film - If they even saw the finished film at the time. Read on.
The Keep had no theatrical release at all in West Germany, where the TD members lived and recorded, and was not released on video there until May of 1985. It only had a small release in the US, to mostly negative reviews, and did not make its money back. The release in the rest of the world was spread across 1984, with very little promotion. TD member Johannes Schmoelling was not even aware the film actually got a release! In an interview several years after the film he was asked asked why no soundtrack was ever released and stated "As far as I know The Keep was never released in the cinemas, so there was no demand for us to release a soundtrack." In 1983 Edgar Froese had stated that they were tired and annoyed with the whole film business, and their relationship was ending with Virgin records after the release of Hyperboria . I'm sure the film's failure, the fact that a large portion of the music in the film was not on the soundtrack tapes TD gave to Virgin, and the limited theatrical release, contributed to Virgin not having much interest in releasing an OST. There were also other possible reasons there was no OST.
According to TD's own website, " An official soundtrack has never been released due to disagreements between the film’s producer and Virgin Records " . Virgin may have had rights to release an official soundtrack, but much of the actual music in the film was taken from previous TD albums already released on Virgin. Since most of the music TD actually composed for the film was not used, and that is what TD's OST tapes likely contained, this may have contributed to the licensing issues. Every previously known track on the 1997 official soundtrack released by TDI had been re-recorded or altered, presumably to get around the licensing and copyright issues. The exact nature of the 'disagreements' has not been revealed publicly. Ownership rights are complicated and the companies are changing hands or merging every few years. As of 2007 Sony/ATV Music Publishing owned the rights to publish soundtrack music from Viacom's Paramount Pictures subsidiary, including The Keep . As of 2012 BMG Rights Management owned Virgin Music, who owned the phono record rights to The Keep soundtrack, then Virgin merged with EMI to became Virgin EMI Records (now owned by Universal Music) in 2013. Virgin was listed on the 1997 TDI official The Keep soundtrack CD case, which contained mostly original unused music, and Sony/ATV was listed on The Keep Cues limited edition CD case, which contained soundtrack music and sound effects copied directly from the film.
THE MUSIC BOOTLEGS - WHICH ARE THE BEST? - An official release of any actual soundtrack music from a thirty+ year old movie seems completely improbable at this point, so we are left with the bootlegs. Most people interested in this music have already paid for the official releases that contain pieces of it, but the rest of the music is only available in bootleg form. For the record, I am completely against bootlegging or counterfeiting an official release. That is no different than stealing another person's property, but that is not the case here since there has never been an official release of the actual film music, and there appears to be no intention to do so in the future. I have no problem if fans put together and share the music amongst themselves as long as no one is trying to make money from it. With modern file sharing, there is no reason to have to pay a bootlegger selling copies illegally.
If you just want the actual music heard in the film, the 2013 The Keep Original Soundtrack, the Complete Recordings - 30th Anniversary Edition ( Restoration Project) is by far the most complete version, includes every music cue heard in the film, and is probably far better and longer than what any official release of the film music would have included. It is on par with the quality of the Blade Runner Esper Edition bootleg and the stellar Blade Runner EMS Recombination bootlegs. The Keep: An Alternative View ( from the semi authorized Tangerine Tree series) is also another good compilation of just the film music, but is incomplete . If you are looking for all of the related music, The Keep Ultimate Edition ( Buster Cat Productions ) bootleg is probably the most complete compilation, although very repetitive. It includes some music from the film (not all), alternate versions, and music created for the film but not used. Note that it also includes music from Tangerine Dreams official releases.
THE KEEP BOOTLEG HISTORY - The first unauthorized soundtrack of Tangerine Dream's music for The Keep appeared in 1992, the First Mix bootleg. The first one I found was in 1994, and eventually I wound up finding seven or eight different bootlegs (there are over twenty different bootlegs now) of The Keep music, and borrowing or finding the others through online file sharing. Many of the tracks on the various bootlegs were simply repeats of the same tracks from earlier bootlegs, often with confusingly different names and running times. In an effort to sort and compile all the unique tracks onto a few CD's, I started making a list of them in 1999. It was a simple cross reference of which were original tracks, which were simply repeated tracks, which were not from the film at all, and the original sources. After several years, and several more bootlegs, it got to be quite long, if not a bit obsessive, but some may find it useful. I later found two websites doing the exact same thing as I was doing, one with better track comparisons than what I have (links to follow). The pages that follow are my track comparisons and notes of the different bootlegs and official releases to help in finding the best available tracks used in The Keep , and my pick of the absolute best bootleg at the top of the list (the 2013 Restoration Project release).
"I like the TD score--I often listen to it. I do not have it (the LP release). I listen to a version painstakingly culled / edited from the stereo laserdisk. " - The Keep Author F. Paul Wilson in 2004.
It is rumored that s ome of the early bootlegs were originally sold as LP's, but most were in CD format, all of which are very difficult to find now, but you should never pay for those anyway. All have been seeded on the World Wide Web using BitTorrent file sharing (as of 2013 it appears only the Ultimate Edition and The Keep: An Alternative View are still being seeded). Most of the better ones are available on youtube so that is the best place to find some of this music, although youtube audio is not ideal. The official Tangerine Dream releases that contain a few minutes of this music were also still in production at the time I last updated this page. I strongly urge you to support the band and purchase the official releases that contain some of this music, Rubycon and Logos Live , both of which were still available at the time this article was written.
NEVER pay for bootlegs. They should only be shared freely among fans.
