As everyone should know TD done the music for The Keep.
I bought the cd because i wanted a certain song but it wasn't on.
Can anyone please tell me the name of this song and where i can get it from.
It's the introduction music to the keep, where the the jeeps are heading towards their location and then the german soldier lights his cigar, the song starts of quiet and then starts to get more louder aswell as having more sounds added to it.
If anyone could tell me the name of the song and where i could get it from, they'd be doing me a masive favour.

My guess would be 2 mins, it's the very first song in The Keep, when the begining credits show up like "Directed by Micheal Man" etc
It starts with just a drum like rythm then more instruments get introduced.

Why oh Why don't TD just put this album out without the 20 quid price tag or a few hundred on e bay. I only have a poor cdr copy and although it's not my fave TD album I would like to own an original.

sadly the future of the Keep soundtrack was never 'all' in Edgar's hands.

it's long been rumoured that Michael Mann asked TD to do a cover of one of the tracks on Brian Enos' album 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts', certainly there's some similarities between the two tracks (bass line and looped drums). Brian's track is called Mea Culpa:

The opening track from the movie "The Keep" is by Brian Eno,
not a cover of it by TD,
but a Brian Eno solo "demo" intended for the Brian Eno / David Byrne "My Life In the Bush Of Ghosts "album.
Parts of the track can be heard on the official 'Bush Of Ghosts' album itself entitled "Mea Culpa", the actual track exactly as it appears in the movie, and a completely different version from the official release of 'Bush Of Ghosts' , is featured on a bootleg album called "Ghosts", and is that albums title track, it is a demos and out-takes collection of tracks that essentially makes up an "alternate" version of the Eno/Byrne album .
and very good it is too.
Thats why its not on any official version of the soundtrack - its not a TD track in any way shape or form, and they don't play it
