This concept album, inspired by Dune and sounding a little like Kraftwerk’s late-1970s and early-1980s work, came out around the same time Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part One did. With Dune: Part Two now in theaters, I found myself revisiting and digging it, even more than Hans Zimmer’s score, which I liked a lot while watching the movie, but less so, at least at this point, on its own, save for the melodic synth stuff like “A Time of Quiet Between the Storms.” Accordingly, in the last week, when I’ve wanted to “go back to Dune,” so to speak, I’ve put this on.
Boing Boing, where I likely came across it originally, has a bit more information about it.
“Tanzerouft,” in the Dune universe, refers to the deep desert on Arrakis; in our world, it refers to something else.
The score to David Lynch’s Dune is a topic for another day.
