11. Dr. Cuza Is Healed / Eva Departs - Night in Romania 2 (4:54) - Cuza and Eva awaken. Cuza finds he has been healed of his debilitating disease. Dr.Cuza and Eva talk about the entity who saved her. Cuza's thinks the force that healed him may be a power that can smash the German army and save his people from extermination, but Eva thinks it is a demon. Woermann arrives to take Eva to the village where she will stay at the inn, in an effort to protect her from the S. S soldiers. Woermann notices the cross given to Cuza by Mihail, and Cuza tells him to take it. Eva departs as Cuza feels the strength given to his body by Molasar grow.
This is the second of three versions of TD's Night in Romania music heard in the film. Similar to the Reunion of Old Friends bootleg track, but with the correct longer intro before the melody starts and the drum beats, as heard in the film. It also includes the extended ending which was used for the scene where Eva departs the Keep. Similar music to Night in Romania from the official TDI release, and Reunion (Cuza's Theme)/Renewed Purpose/Leave Taking/Cuza's Theme from previous bootlegs
12. Glaeken and Eva (4:03) - Eva arrives at the inn to find Glaeken has taken the last room. She looks into Glaeken's eyes and he exerts some type of hypnotic spell over her, making her stay at the inn with him. In the mirror in the background we see Glaeken has no reflection. Eva awakens later in the room to find the mirror has been taken down and now faces the wall. She sees the case holding Glaeken's staff. Later Glaeken and Eva overlook the keep from a mountain top, her seemingly under his spell, then later he makes love to her at the inn, where this music is heard. Eva wants to talk after they have sex, but he does not, and with a touch of his hand on her head, causes her to sleep.
The music is a continuation of the Glaeken theme music heard in track 7. A few seconds in the middle are different from the film version, but most sound effects have been removed. The ending is similar to the ending from Moorland, which was the reworked version for the Tatort single released after The Keep. Similar to the previous bootleg tracks named Glaeken Awakes / Awakening / Crossing Saver / Eva and Glaeken Overlook The Keep (all recorded from the VHS or Laser Disk with sound effects)
13. Molasar Bargains with Dr. Cuza (4:39) - Previously unreleased. Cuza goes looking through the keep and finds Molasar, who now has formed a fleshly body from consuming the German soldiers he has killed. Molasar needs an ally and promises to smash the German army and their leader in Berlin if Cuza agrees to help him remove an object from The Keep, the source of his power, and hide it. Cuza seems to be hypnotized by Molasar and agrees.
The music that plays here is Another variant on the live Logos Pt II (Logos Black) music. The film music includes a section from the beginning of TD's 1975 track Rubycon Part II. This track is basically the exact film music for this scene, but plays much longer than it does in the film.
14. Evil Spreads into the Village (3:40) - Previously unreleased. As he grows stronger, Molasar's evil spreads throughout the village, which is now engulfed in a smoky mist.. Father Mihail comes to see Cuza in the keep and discuss how he will escape, but Cuza wants to stay. They argue about the 'power' in the keep, and once Mihail realizes Cuza now seems to be miraculously healed and can stand, he damns Cuza for making a pact with evil. They part ways angrily. Later Eva finds Mihail at the altar in his church, where he has killed and is drinking the blood of his dog from a chalice. This sacrifice was possibly an offering to God in an attempt to stop the evil in the village, but Mihail's eyes are completely red, indicating the evil emanating from the keep has now infected him.
This is nearly identical to the music used in those scenes, with no sound effects. The first half of this track uses the choir sounds from TD's 1975 track Rubycon Part II, and select brief instrument and percussion sounds from Mohave Plan, a track from the 1982 studio album White Eagle. The second half of this track is a reprise of the Arrival in the Rumanian Village music.
15. Stranger at the Inn (1:12) - Previously unreleased. Dr. Cuza meets Glaeken at the inn when he goes to see his daughter. Glaeken tells him Molasar is evil and the talisman is not the source of his power, but what keeps him imprisoned inside the keep. Cuza does not believe him and later tells Kaempffer of a 'stranger at the inn who asks questions'.
The music here is basically a few simple low droning notes overlaid with rising synth notes. The same rising note sound was used in TD's December 1983 live concert tracks Rare Bird (at the 2:06 minute mark) and Poland (at the 22:00 minute mark), as well as in Moorland.
Eva confronts Glaeken, realizing he is part of whatever is happening with the keep and the village. He tells her he has been waiting and guarding for ages against what is happening, but now he must end it by destroying Molasar, which also means he himself will also end. Somehow both Molasar and Glaeken's existence is linked, and he implies to Eva that he is immortal. There is no music in this scene.
16. Death of Glaeken (2:03) - On Kaempffer's orders, Glaeken is taken from the inn by S. S. Einsatzkommandos to be brought before him in the keep, but is gunned down when he tries to resist when the soldiers strike Eva. Bleeding green phosphorescent blood, hinting of his possible alien origin, he falls into the chasm surrounding the keep walls. He is presumed dead, but we seem him still moving.
A short variant of the Arrival in the Rumanian Village music. Similar to the atmospheric tracks from previous bootlegs called The Black Soldiers, Einsatzkommandos, Glaeken's Death, and The Evil Within.
17. Molasar Stirs / Death of Woermann (1:16) - Woermann, drunk, confronts and insults Kaempffer in his quarters inside the keep. He calls Kaempffer a coward who murders to feel powerful, and criticizes his fascism. Sounds of the soldiers gunfire and screams in another part of the keep are heard, and Woermann heads to the door to investigate. As he turns away from Kaempffer to take Cuza's cross from the table, Kaempffer shoots him in the back, killing him.
The intro of this track was previously used by Edgar Froese in a track called Flying Kamikazee, from his 1982 soundtrack to the film Kamikazee 1989. From there the track moves into remixed sections of the Logos Pt II (Logos Black) music. A section from 0:47 seconds into the track was used earlier in the film when Woermann asks Kaempffer to join him to see the body of the latest soldier killed by the force inside the keep. This track is similar to the bootleg track Death of Woermann and Kaempffer, but this version is more accurate and does not include sound effects or dialogue. It includes Molasar's steam train engine-generator sound, heard in the film just prior to this scene, which may be a film sound effect, or may be something TD created. Edgar Froese has stated in an interview that they have created sound effects for film scores when asked to, and also recreated sound effects in the same key as their music for films (example - the fire extinguisher sound effects in the safe cracking scene from Thief), so this sound may have been TD's creation.
18. Molasar Aftermath / Death of Kaempffer (4:40) - Taking the cross from Woermann's dead hand, thinking it will offer him protection from evil, Kaempffer walks through the burnt carnage of his murdered soldiers to get to the front door of the keep, but fear overtakes him. His men have all been burnt to black ash, which is ironically what the Nazis were doing to the Jews in their concentration camps. He comes face to face with Molasar, who now has a fully developed body and resembles some type of golem, but his facial features resemble Glaeken. Molasar is not affected by the cross, and Kaempffer asks where he comes from, to which Molasar replies 'I am from you'. He then kills and consumes Kaempffer.
This music matches the edited and rearranged version of Logos Pt II (Logos Black) source music, as heard in this scene, with no sound effects. Similar to Incarnation (Molasar's Theme), and Death of Woermann and Kaempffer on previous bootlegs.
19. The Talisman (3:50) - In the gigantic cavern under the keep, Cuza digs through the rocks and finds the hole where Glaeken buried his talisman hundreds of year earlier. We see the talisman is shaped exactly like the crosses embedded into the keep walls. Molasar waits nearby, keeping his distance from the object which imprisons him. Cuza then takes the talisman up and out of the cave, as this triumphant music plays. Simultaneously Glaeken is revived and climbs up from the chasm. He retrieves his staff from his room at the inn. When he grasps the shaft it emits a red glow and Glaeken's eye change.
This is the full length film version of the track with no sound effects. Previous bootleg versions of this track were also called Talisman, taken directly from the VHS or Laser Disk with sound effects. A remixed and altered version of it appeared on the official TDI release in 1997 as Canzone, with additional keyboards at the beginning and end, and extra music layered over the film music. Edgar Froese's alterations to the music for that version were presumably because he thought it was too repetitive without the film visuals to go along with it, and needed something more (or perhaps it was to renew the copyright). It is a bit too long at over three minutes, but I prefer it like the original film music.
