@@Sheraldomaps The ending to this movie is class. I know some people may find it a bit cheap. But it's got atmosphere in spades. The ending is a portrait mystery. Mann, make more.
It's just made my day, that a like-minded person has just given me a "like" for my comments, about Walking In The Air, from the Keep being the most beautiful synthesizer music ever written,! So I am listening to it again, as I am writing this - (and the music ish at full volume, as I listen BY CANDLELIGHT!)!
It IS glorious isn't it ! I saw the film - on one of it's very rare TV appearances - in 1994 and clocked this ending music though I just thought it "similar" to the Howard Blake composition. I bought a CD of the film's score in 1995 which had a short version of this - I often wished it were longer .... and now it is ....
@@Simpleburger1968 from DEEJAYENPS (Nygel Miller). You See! Dreams CAN come true - you wanted a longer version - and GOT it! (Like me!) Another amazing thing that happened, was that I'd always liked LIVE TO TELL by Madonna. I always hoped for a longer version, than the one on the radio. I thought I'd just try typing in "hear Madonna's Live To Tell", EXTENDED version. The reason this song is so special, is, ORIGINALLY, it had been planned for a film soundtrack! So, I did get my version for an extended version - about SEVEN minutes! Bu t still, it wasn't enough! One day, when I typed the title in on my smartphone, I thought " This CAN'T be! The longest 7 MINUTES I ever heard! I timed it - and it lasted 15 MINUTES! All by itself, and when the track finished - I saw it had come up as ULTRA extended version!
Loved this movie when I saw it in the theatre in 1984. Always loved the music. This was my first taste of tangerine dream and have been a fan of them since. Saw them live on their 1988 your in n.y.c. and was blown away. They played logos in the concert. R.i.p. Edgar Froese, your music lives on.
This is the most beautiful, captivating music, ever written! From one of the best, and most iconic films of the 1980's, and Ian Mc.Kellen's greatest moment in his entire career! (And - entirely without any assistance from the great Helen Mirren
No, the laser disk was the exact same movie as the theatrical, with the extended ending cut. The only time the extended ending was ever seen was in some longer television edits of the film, which is where this came from
@@kitraestudio I still have The Keep on laser disc in mint condition (no laser rot). My laser disc player died yrs ago so I'm looking to get another one on the cheap. Right sellers on Ebay want to rake you over the coals for one.
@@kitraestudio Can I ask a question, Kit Rae? It there any way to get a lossless/better quality version of this extended version of the song? If not now, perhaps someday in the future? I have the Tangerine Tree release and the Ricochet Dream "The Keep Cues", but both only feature the short version of "Walking in the Air". I'm in love with this movie soundtrack and the ending theme in particular. Sadly the audio gets compressed to merely 128 kbps on youtube.
This is awesome -I wished they released the movie on BluRay/DVD -it's such a surreal experience, this music really completes the visuals -or is it the other way 'round? TD did a great job on the score!
I'm lucky - it was on T.V., and I recorded it on a videotape! Isn't it annoying that they show a film for a number of years - and then not at all. No matter how classic the film is.
Started rescoring this in the DAW a few years back. Working on making my own version given that TD is too hamstrung with silly copyright issues to release this. Tired of waiting.
@@pewburrito I'll try to remember, sure. It's coming along; I'm trying to make it as close to the original as possible, even trying to recreate the synth sounds as best I can, but I know it won't be perfect and I'll have to improvise here and there. There is a lot of noise and effects from the movie that are obfuscating some of the sound, and there are a few things which I simply cannot duplicate perfectly, however I am making my best attempt at capturing the mood and melody, even adding just enough recreated effects back into the final mix (but not enough to detract). I work out of town extensively, so I always try to put a few hours in a month when I get back home. Cheers! -The Night Shift Electrician.
@WESDEANEMARTIN I had started doing something similar on my own last Christmas. Started out with me trying to do some instrumental stuff with the version from The Snowman and then *this* popped up while I was working on it XD. Definitely not trying to get *as close* as you are, but gave me a totally new angle to approach it with.
There was an officially released soundtrack, but it only had a few minutes of actual music from the film. This unauthorized version is the closest you will get all the actual film score music. I'm sure it has been ripped and is online somewhere.
@@stuco81 The intro chords are very similar/identical to C N (though in rather different style) ...the piece then does go in a different direction. I love it !
i'm trying to find the name of the music when the evil escapes and glen close wakes up with his eyes glowing and the music as he travels on a boat i lv this movie and the music is brilliant i also like the music near the end when ian mckellen is taking the cross out of the keep..if anyone knows the soundtrack i would be grateful..
It was a young(er) Scott Glenn - Glenn Close is the bird out of Fatal Attraction lol. The one when Gandalf is carrying the talisman is Canzone (T.Dream). Don't know the tune on the boat but the soundtrack is bound to be on TH-cam somewhere. ;-)
The music is here, called 'Awakening / Sailing to Romania', at around the 22 minute mark. th-cam.com/video/7VPKs1Io7A0/w-d-xo.html Similar music is played during the love making scene, at around the 42 minute mark, called 'Glaeken and Eva'.
Would have certainly been nice if this had been released on the original soundtrack. Unfortunately, the original tapes are probably going to continue rotting in some vault someplace..
It’s as beautiful as the non retractability of the talons of rapacious birds or as the uncertainty of muscular movements in wounds of the soft tissues of the posterior cervical region 👺😈
Economic Terror the book came out in 1978 but the animated film and its sound track where not released until 1982 ... opps I see Epic fail beat me to it :)

I love The Keep💛💛💛💛💛
Still holding out hope that someday we'll get a director's cut of the film with all the deleted scenes added back in.
One of the best films of the eighties and an equally if difficult to obtain soundtrack too.
Absolutely amazing soundtrack! The movie was so visually stunning.
Thank you sir ❤
I could listen to this all day.
Brian Zuleger me too!

To Ghost Delay. I'm so glad someone feels the same way about this TIMELESS movie!

Brilliant read the book straight through no stopping
There will never be a better ending in a film. So perfect.
This tune is Tangerine Dreams finest piece!
This is DEFINATELY my favourite tune, ! (MEZMERISED!)
The Snowman flew me here.
To Erik Kuether. Those who take drugs probably WILL believe that the Snowman flew them there!
@@nygelmiller5293 Its a LOT smoother ride than Santa's Sleigh!
Incidentally, what language is your name, ERIK? In English it's Eric, in German it's Erich. In Polish it's Arek.
excellent music, my favorite album from them
You said it!
From 6:10 the same melody of Fassbinder's Kamikaze 89 movie soundtrack by the name "The 31st Floor". Love it.
Me too - even though it's not in the movie, it makes a nice transition and actually works in the soundtrack's favour.
I can't believe I didn't recognize that this is a synth version of the same song used in The Snowman. It's so beautiful.

Finally...I been looking for this song for too long. Lol Its not on any of the sound tracks I've seen. Thank you
One of the coolest movies ever made. TD's soundtrack completes this visually stunning story.
Can hear a lot of Mann's years-later Last of the Mohicans finale in here -- both music and general structure of the "cliffhanger." Both fantastic.
thank you, sir, for posting this.
excellent
This is awesome -I wished they released the movie on BluRay/DVD -it's such a surreal experience, this music really completes the visuals -or is it the other way 'round? TD did a great job on the score!

Beautiful film. Reminded me a bit of my favorite video game series - King's Field.
By far my favorite album
I was looking for the soundtrack on itunes and came up with nothing, maybe pirate bay has this awesome score.

@@kitraestudiothanks for the background
So fucking epic
Grahams theme from Manhunter must have been inspired by this, when he has the eureka moment.
That's comfortably numb by pink floyd. Same with the final music in Thief.
The Leeds' dog doesn't have a collar, but you know it's the Leeds' dog... You've seen these films, haven't you my man? Haven't you????

Man this is a weird fever dream movie
FORMIDABLE PIECE OF MUSIC, IN ANY TIME!
Forever !

Well now I know where NIGHTWISH took this from.
Nightwish did not base the song from this movie. This song came originally from an animated movie called "The Snowman" which came out in 1978
thanks for the info ! :D
The book was published in 1978 the animated movie came out in 1982
