"Sorcerer" is my favorite Tangerine Dream score and oddly enough like "The Keep" another movie that is struggling to get a much needed director's cut/rerelease if any at all. There have also been rumors of a director's cut release but so far zilch. "The Keep" is a great score, an interesting but flawed movie and a great book.
The Tangerine Dream scores are getting remastered releases, hope "The Keep" will not be forgotten.
Sorcerer has had a new 4K master made and will be released on Blu ray next year. The US cut is the theatrical cut. Can't wait for that one! Now we just need The Keep and Thief on Blu....
As for the remastered TD scores, are you referring to BSX and Near Dark or is TDI doing something?

I find his remixed material unlistenable.

I really wish someone would release the actual film mixes of these scores. Legend, Thief, Firestarter, Near Dark, Risky Business all have significantly different material still collecting dust.
At least Sorcerer is very well covered, especially with the recent premier cd release of SPHERES movement 3. Love that track!
And then of course there are all the terrific unreleased scores for The Soldier, The Keep, Red Heat, Vision Quest, Strange Behavior, etc. Nothing quite like early 80's TD.

The second is just a very very pleasant and uplifting piece of music that has anyone who doesn't know the film and the story fooled by seeming to be from a happy everday story.
Alas, that is probably why Mann didn't use this piece!

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.

Here's an excellent KEEP fan site as well.

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.

TD's label is now called Eastgate.
