Music
The theme and incidental music was composed by Tangerine Dream. The band previously worked with Michael Mann on his first theatrical film Thief. The score to The Keep is primarily made up of moody soundscapes as opposed to straightforward music cues. However, music is still present in the film. Most notably, an ambient cover of Howard Blake's "Walking in the Air" was featured during the end sequence of the film. Additionally, a new arrangement of the song "Gloria" from Mass for Four Voices can also be heard in the film.
Although the soundtrack was eventually released in 1997, out of 16 tracks only three actually appeared in the film.
