BTW, anyone knows why the movie ended being so messed? Did the studio forced director to cut it? The money ended? What happened? In answer to an actual question from you, Scott Glenn told me that effects man Wally Veevers passed away before he was able to finish the sequence. Various effects people were called in, but no one could figure out the process he used in order to finish the scene, which I believe involved significant wire work. So they basically had to go with what they had, hence the truncated ending. However, you can watch a longer finale here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoHldOn-i9E Here's an excellent KEEP fan site as well. http://the.keep.free.fr/default_en.htm They just played a print at Cinefamily. A brilliantly atmospheric, mind-boggling horror movie. Still my all-time grail to see out on CD one of these days. DS @The Mutant - told ya so, this is the thread, specifically the post, I refenced on FB Makes me want to take action and get that Laserdisc player re-hooked up, so I can watch again in all its 'Scope glory.

The original tracks from THE KEEP have never surfaced on CD yet. Most other CD releases have been rerecordings form various sources including a toned down one made by Edgar Froese himself, which I;ve been told by TaDream enthusiasts pales by comparison to the genuine score. It would seem if you hate THIEF, you won't like much else of what they have done... steer clear. I sort of can see his point. The Keep reminds me of TD's earlier Virgin years albums like Stratosphere, Phaedra, even Sorcerer. The synths The Dream used on Thief were more digital like the GDS and less analog like their Arps, Moogs, Polymoogs, Prophet 5, etc. that were warmer sounding. Don't get me wrong though- Thief is my all time favorite TD score!

I'm sure I've posted this exact same comment somewhere before or some variation thereof, but: hot damn, I would snatch up a faithful rerecording of The Keep in a heartbeat.
