I have the book (got it signed by the author) and he craps on the film at every opportunity. He and another guy recorded an unofficial commentary trashing it.
F. Paul Wilson is quite vocal about dismissing TD's score. He doesn't think the film should have had an electronic score (and he doesn't like the film, anyway).
On a live webcast I heard, FPW also mentioned the existence of the LP release of The Keep, which as we all know is the greatest urban legend surrounding TD. The existence of the LP (supposedly recalled a week after its release) is regarded by most fans as a myth.

the music is out there though .. i don't think there was any way to isolate the score on any of the film media ..
not sure what the source was but it's the real deal

"Hallo everyone - as all of you I was shocked by Edgar's sudden departure. Just a month ago I visited him in Austria making plans for a new project. Well, there will be a new project, and Edgar's fingerprints will be all over it. His personality will permeate everything that is composed/produced under the TD name."

Peter made a follow-up post!
"Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm just now sitting in a plane returning from Austria after meeting with Bianca and the TD crew. After many, many years, last October I felt compelled to return to making music - that's when I contacted Edgar and visited him in Austria in early January - those were some of the most emotional and intense days in my life. We're now in the midst of plannng the next phase of TD, I believe it will be magical!

Precisely. Synthesizers and sequencing had advanced enough to assemble exquisite textures but there were still limitations where polyphony and timbres were concerned, but I think it's that balance that gave us such fantastic compositions.
...
There was a story about early days with TD that Edgar Froese talked about the "echo chambers" and how the effect sometimes didn't work ... and it was a very funny comment. Wish I could find that article, because it was hilarious.

I've got all the Booster series now as well. I have a lot of TD still to absorb so although I am very saddened by Edgar's passing I am in a way glad that Jerome has made this statement. That is the only 'honest' way to continue (or not as the case may be). I expect Jerome to release new music but this is his perhaps his chance to do his own thing.

Yeah, I read that myself, Verslibre. Some pretty blunt statements he makes in it too...
What stuck out for me is his dismissal of 1) capitalizing on the brand when he has the first volume of yet another compilation that is drawn (only) from his time in TD, and 2) "chumming up" — when, wait, who exactly is it that he is currently in a band with? A former member of TD, right?

I didn't see those clips, thanks! It sounds like a more ambiental take on Hyperborea I saw a LP copy of it and I didn't know what to expect. I'll probably get it.

Check out the Schmoelling track I posted on the previous page. It's from Early Beginnings, a stellar collection of music from his time with TD that he dusted off and completed. Excellent!
