Amazon.com For many science fiction purists, the notion of a big studio film adapatation of Frank Herbert's classic Dune was about as palatable as a David Lynch film being scored by Toto. Well, surprise! Midway between The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet, Lynch somehow got shanghaied into this unholy mess of a multi-hour, savagely re-edited epic, and Toto, early-'80s kings of AOR and bane of many a rock critic's existence, inexplicably were hired to write and produce the Dune score. Even more surprising, the band pulls off nothing less than a minor miracle and a true cinematic rarity--a true "rock" score (as opposed to a collection of songs) that rivals many a symphonic composer for range and emotional impact. --Jerry McCulley Similar CDs

CD ReviewsCharming to the last minute Florian Behnsen | 12/28/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "This score works like the classical music in the movies of Stanley Kubrick, it can stand on it's own, while it also enhances both the scene and the feelings of the audience. This is why when ever I listen to the music, I never feel bored by it. It offers a great variety of musical material from classic to typical Toto-Music, while it is also so inspiring that you won't need to see the movie when listening to it. The music perfectly transmitts the scene, it captures you in this wonderful magical world of Dune ." Dated? Yes. Still great music? Of course! Florian Behnsen | 09/25/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) "For such a long movie, the soundtrack sure is short. I was disappointed at first when I looked at the jewel case and saw only 40-some minutes of music. But the quality definitely makes up for the quantity. The electronic instruments (not to mention the soft rock style on some tracks) make it easy to pinpoint the time of conception, but good music is good music, right? Right."
